Rotary Girl Empowerment Program: Period Kit Giveaway

As part of our ongoing discussions on gender equality and equity, we recognized how the high cost of period supplies can be a barrier, preventing individuals from fully participating in society. Inspired to make a local impact, we raised €300 through generous donations, both big and small. We used it to purchase a cabinet and fill it with essential period products.

On March 29th, we held a small but meaningful giveaway event, donating the cabinet and supplies to a local organization in Schilderswijk, The Hague, that has been supporting women for over 25 years. The cabinet is now placed discreetly so that women can access free period products whenever they need them, without stigma and barriers.

This initiative is part of the Rotary Girl Empowerment Program. It reminds us that small acts of kindness and local action can go a long way. Period products are expensive, but together, we can make them more accessible. Thank you to everyone who contributed. You’ve made a real difference!
