22,000 reusable pads to support a further 2,750 people out of period poverty have arrived in Lebanon for local Lebanese affected by the economic crisis and Syrian refugees. We also sent a 40 ft container with 1000 boxes of kids clothes and shoes for The Free Shop Lebanon 💙🧡

Ella Lambert set up @thepachaproject whilst studying at University of Bristol. The project helps refugees via distributing free reusable sanitary products. It’s now a global network of 2,000 volunteers who’ve sewn 100,000 colourful pads. Rachael McMenemy reports: bbc.com/news/uk-englan…

Girls across the 🌍 tell me that stigma, inadequate infrastructure and lack of access to menstrual products disrupt their education. I partnered with Michael Sheldrick @glblctzn to bring together changemakers passionate about breaking down these barriers. #RightsFreedomChoice

Period poverty is a particular issue in refugee camps during conflict. “When you hear the war sirens in the middle of the night and you grab a bag and grab anything you can get your hands on, who thinks to pack sanitary products?” said period poverty activist Ella Lambert.

“In the way we have toilet rolls in every public bathroom, there should be free sanitary products.” Ella Lambert.

Our founder Ella Lambert spoke in parliament on Wednesday about how fighting period poverty keeps girls in education.

It’s #VolunteerWeek so we’ll be sharing some testimonials from our incredible volunteers who make reusable sanitary pads for vulnerable people. They are the life force of Pachamama. First up is from Rachel in Kent! #TheBigHelpOut #sewforcharity #Volunteer #periodpoverty

New partner alert! We’re working with Jigsaw to reach new communities in Lebanon. We’re delivering our reusable pads alongside menstrual health education to Lebanese, Syrian and Palestinian mothers and daughters to foster conversations around menstrual health at home.

Yesterday we ran a reusable pad making workshop and hybrid talk with fellow Bristol-born Aardman (home to Wallace and Gromit and co 🤩) as they join our mission to end period poverty one reusable sanitary pad at a time with the launch of the first ever corporate Pacha club!

Thank you Financial Times for highlighting our work in Lebanon to tackle period poverty and end the menstrual stigma. “I don’t think any girl should miss out on the same education as her brothers simply because she has a period.” - Ella Lambert ft.com/content/69fcd0…
