Who We Are
The EmpowHER Project is a youth-led nonprofit working to create a world where no girl is limited by her period.
The EmpowHER Project is a youth-led nonprofit working to create a world where no girl is limited by her period. We educate girls with accurate, empowering menstrual health information. We provide free sustainable reusable pads and disposable pads to those who need them most and engage communities, teachers, parents, and boys in open, inclusive conversations.
By breaking harmful taboos and promoting dignity through dialogue, we’re tackling stigma at its roots. Our outreaches keeps girls in school, equips them with confidence, and fosters a culture that treats menstruation with respect. Beyond direct impact, we also advocate for menstrual education to be integrated into school curriculums nationwide because every girl deserves to understand her body, speak up without shame, and thrive without barriers.
