Dance with Shake It So to support The MoonCatcher Project for International Menstrual Hygiene Day! Click here for more information & to register!
In 2014, WASH United initiated a global day dedicated to menstruation: Menstrual Hygiene Day. This year, we're celebrating work done around the world to ensure access to adequate menstrual health care, and to spread awareness about the impact of period poverty.
By donating to the MoonCatcher Project, you empower young women to stay in school, participate fully in their communities, and embrace their health and dignity. Every contribution brings us closer to a world where no girl is held back by her period.
200,000+
Mooncatcher kits delivered
This means that over 150,000 girls can stay in school and participate in their lives and their community.
30+
Countries
When we say “all over the world,” we mean it! From Africa to Central America, the Caribbean to Asia, we are changing the lives of girls. See our map.
62,000+
disposable menstrual supplies
We have distributed menstrual supplies to food pantries, homeless shelters and other organizations in the U.S.
“We cannot buy pads. They are very expensive so I was using rags, but my school dresses would get stained. Now that I have a MoonCatcher Kit, I can stay in school because I want to be a doctor.”
