WASH United is an award-winning non-profit based in Berlin/Germany founded in 2011. Over the years, we have shifted our focus from water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) to menstrual health and hygiene (MHH) to help address the persisting menstruation-related challenges 500 million women and girls around the world face every month. Our goal is to create a period-friendly world where no woman or girl is held back because of her period. We are convinced that this goal is achievable, but only if we act together. That's why WASH United focuses on strengthening the global MHH ecosystem. To accelerate progress on period education, we provide hundreds of partner organisations - from grassroots NGOs to national governments - with free, scalable educational solutions they can integrate into their own projects and programmes. To drive awareness and action, we initiated (and continue to coordinate) Menstrual Hygiene Day, now the largest global campaign on menstrual health and hygiene with more than 1,300 official partner organisations and an annual reach of close to 1 billion people.  
In addition, we engage in strategic advocacy throughout the year to increase the political relevance of MHH and mobilise more funding for the issue.
