The Period Society is a youth led non profit which ameliorates menstrual and reproductive health with an emphasis on India via youth led education, awareness, and service programs. We have a two fold goal of ending the menstrual taboo and improving access to period products with an emphasis on environmental sustainability to end period poverty and reduce plastic waste.

We have served over 348,000 periods which equates to 95,000 menstrual cycles, reached over 5,000 people through its menstrual hygiene education sessions, and met the needs of over 2,000 menstruators for the period of 3 years by distributing reusable cloth pad kits for free within underserved communities in India.
