Update: End Period Poverty Campaign for 2023
The 2023 End Period Poverty Campaign for EBRPSS concluded with a significant achievement: donating Ubibi Bags to over 1,200 girls and boys. These essential resources will combat period poverty, providing access to hygiene products crucial for their well-being. This success wouldn't have been possible without the invaluable support of our sponsors, volunteers, and generous donors. Their dedication and contributions played a pivotal role in addressing this critical issue within our community. As we wrap up this campaign, our heartfelt thanks go out to all involved, whose commitment exemplifies the power of collective action. Together, we've made a tangible impact, not just by providing supplies but by breaking down barriers caused by period poverty or improper hygiene practices, ensuring a brighter future for the young individuals in EBRPSS.
As part of Network of Women NOW's ongoing mission, we are expanding our efforts to promote hygiene in public schools throughout Louisiana for girls and boys alike. Our commitment to empowerment remains unchanged, and this new initiative aligns seamlessly with our core values. By advocating for hygiene practices, we aim to create a healthier environment for students. Join us in this endeavor to make a positive impact on the well-being of the next generation. Together, we can drive lasting change
