“Many in our community face poverty each and every day. It comes in different forms such as money, housing, and health, including period poverty which impacts many young women.

Change starts with a need. In this case, it is a need that often goes forgotten.

‘We know the poverty rate is extremely high. This particular period poverty is an unspoken crisis around the world,’ said Betina Hunt, You First Community Foundation Founder and President.

Period poverty is the lack of resources for women and young girls during their menstrual cycle. Betina Hunt runs You First Community Foundation addressing the issue.”
