Bilisummaa works to end period poverty by providing

menstrual health education

and menstrual health supplies. 

What is Period Poverty?

No student should miss out on school or daily life because they cannot afford a basic need. Period poverty refers to the lack of access to menstrual products, proper sanitation and hygiene facilities, and the education needed to manage menstrual health with dignity. It is a solvable issue, and one we’re committed to ending!

Our Mission

Bilisummaa champions freedom and dignity by addressing period poverty through education, advocacy, and the distribution of menstrual health supplies.

Our Vision

Bilisummaa envisions a world where everyone who menstruates has reliable access to both menstrual health education and menstrual health supplies.
