Dear Friends and Family,Please join me and The Pad Project in the global fight for menstrual equality! The Pad Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the principle that, "A period should end a sentence, not a girl's education." At the 2013 “Commission on the Status of Women” at the United Nations, a group of high school students and their teacher, Melissa Berton, learned that girls all over the world are forced to miss or drop out of school entirely at the onset of their periods, due to lack of access to hygienic and affordable menstrual supplies. Melissa and her students committed to create a documentary that would raise awareness about the issue and to form a club called The Pad Project. Six years later, in 2019, that film, PERIOD. END OF SENTENCE., won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Short, and that club became the 501(c)3 nonprofit that I write to you about today. Thanks to the support of caring people like you, The Pad Project has had the pleasure of hearing from 42 states, 94 countries, and has sparked a global conversation about menstruation. Still, while The Pad Project is humbled by all of the help they have received, the fight for menstrual equality has only just begun! My hope is that you will continue to further their goals by dismantling taboos around menstruation, creating your own Pad Project chapter, and donating to their organization. Please help them reach all 50 states, 195 countries, and empower more girls and women! They can't do it without you.[Name]

Dear Friends and Family,Please join me and The Pad Project in the global fight for menstrual equality! The Pad Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the principle that, "A period should end a sentence, not a girl's education." As many of you know, I have spent the past 4 years traveling back and forth to a village in southern India where I work with women and train them as artisans to create job opportunity for them. After learning about The Pad Project I realized that they had developed a model that could have a tremendous impact in this village. I am asking you to contribute to raise money for a machine that will consistently employ 10 women to create female hygiene products that will be sold at an affordable price (half of the current market price). Not only will this organization create 10 jobs in the village, but they will provide a means for young girls to stay in school once they start their periods and for all women to create healthy hygiene habits. My hope is that you will continue to further their goals by dismantling taboos around menstruation and donating to this organization. Please help us in our mission to empower more girls and women! We can't do it without you. With gratitude, Mary Elizabeth Heard p.s. Please watch PERIOD.

Lieve vrienden en familie, Op Netflix staat een korte documentaire over het belang van maandverband en sexuele educatie.

Our hope is that we will all continue to further their goals by dismantling taboos around menstruation, and by providing the tools that will empower women all around the world. The cost to provide a manual pad machine to a village that needs it is $5,500. Enough raw materials to produce 260,000 pads per year (serving a community of 400 women) costs $11,000. And to train women to use and operate the machine, and to keep it working for one year, is $2,000. We hope that you'll join us in supporting The Pad Project!

Dear Friends and Family,Please join me and The Pad Project in the global fight for menstrual equality! The Pad Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the principle that, "A period should end a sentence, not a girl's education." At the 2013 “Commission on the Status of Women” at the United Nations, a group of high school students and their teacher, Melissa Berton, learned that girls all over the world are forced to miss or drop out of school entirely at the onset of their periods, due to lack of access to hygienic and affordable menstrual supplies. Melissa and her students committed to create a documentary that would raise awareness about the issue and to form a club called The Pad Project. Six years later, in 2019, that film, PERIOD. END OF SENTENCE., won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Short, and that club became the 501(c)3 nonprofit that I write to you about today. Thanks to the support of caring people like you, The Pad Project has had the pleasure of hearing from 42 states, 94 countries, and has sparked a global conversation about menstruation. Still, while The Pad Project is humbled by all of the help they have received, the fight for menstrual equality has only just begun! My hope is that you will continue to further their goals by dismantling taboos around menstruation, creating your own Pad Project chapter, and donating to their organization. Please help them reach all 50 states, 195 countries, and empower more girls and women! They can't do it without you.[Name]

Dear Friends and Family, My name is Kritika Vedula. I am currently a sophomore attending Homestead High School located in Cupertino, California. The Pad Project is an organization focused on spreading awareness about the taboo surrounding menstruation and raising money to fund this cause. Their organization is dedicated to the principle that, "A period should end a sentence, not a girl's education." Many girls around the world cannot afford sanitary products, so they rely on unhealthy alternatives, such as old clothing or dirty rags, which increases the risk of infection and the likelihood of girls dropping out of school early. But now, there is a new invention which helps to solve this problem. The machine does more than just supply girls with pads: it supplies a stable income to the women who work to make the pads, empowering them to become independent and also rise above the stigma around periods and pads. The Pad Project’s goal is to raise enough money for one machine, a years' worth of supplies, and a team of local women who can educate other women on how to use the machine and raise awareness about the normality of periods and the importance of using pads. At the 2013 “Commission on the Status of Women” at the United Nations, a group of high school students and their teacher, Melissa Berton, learned that girls all over the world are forced to miss or drop out of school entirely at the onset of their periods, due to lack of access to hygienic and affordable menstrual supplies. Melissa and her students committed to creating a documentary that would raise awareness about the issue and form a club called The Pad Project. Six years later, in 2019, that film, PERIOD.

Thanks to the support of caring people like you, The Pad Project has had the pleasure of hearing from 42 states, 94 countries, and has sparked a global conversation about menstruation. Still, while The Pad Project is humbled by all of the help they have received, the fight for menstrual equality has only just begun! I hope that you will continue to further their goals by dismantling taboos around menstruation and donating to their organization. Each one of you can make a difference just by donating one dollar. Please help them reach all 50 states, 195 countries, and empower more girls and women! They can't do it without you. Every penny counts.
