AKCJA MENSTRUACJA IN YOUR SCHOOL
According to Procter&Gamble reports (2021 and 2022), 1 in 10 schoolgirls in the UK and 1 in 5 in the US have once missed school due to lack of access to hygiene products. Although similar studies have not yet been conducted in Poland, this problem, although seemingly invisible, also exists. Its simplest solution is to provide access to menstrual products at school.
Our partner schools receive free boxes with sanitary pads and tampons for all toilets, as well as a supply of menstrual products, which we regularly replenish.
In the 2022/2023 school year, more than 127,000 menstruating students benefited from this form of assistance, and our boxes supported in 616 schools across Poland!

HOW CAN YOU HELP US?
The average cost of providing in-school access to menstrual products throughout the school year is £30. This year we also want to start new educational activities in our partner schools, which comes with
additional costs.
Your support helps us reach more schools! All you have to do is donate even the smallest amount to the account: Fundacja Akcja Menstruacja, 55 1600 1055 1899 6298 9000 0001, with the title "Donation for statutory purposes/ Darowizna na cele statutowe ", or to our fundraiser on the right.
You can also help by encouraging a school in your community to sign up for our Programme!
From June 1 to December 31, 2023, the Foundation carries out a task called "Akcja Menstruacja in your school in the Łódź Voivodeship".
The aim of the project is to combat the exclusion of menstruating people who, due to poverty and many other difficulties, cannot afford to buy menstrual products or have to give them up for other necessary expenses. 50 schools from the Łódź Voivodeship will receive a supply of menstrual products for the entire school year 2023/2024, and project coordinators will receive a lesson plan on the menstrual cycle, traditional and reusable menstrual products, and menstrual health and hygiene. An information webinar will be organized for school representatives.
The task worth PLN 25,000.00 is being implemented with the support of the Łódź Special Economic Zone as part of the re_action programme!
HERE WE OPERATE!
You can find all our partner schools on the map below and on the list divided by voivodeship.
