Womxn around the world are resourceful. When faced with the challenge of not having access to traditional sanitary products, they use pillow stuffing, cloths and newspaper as substitutes, all of which can be a personal health hazard. Most dishearteningly, there is also a culture of young women resorting to using their bodies as currency in exchange for these products. 

The Cova Project is an Australian charity dedicated to providing benevolent relief to girls and womxn of reproductive age across the world who are experiencing poverty, suffering, distress and disadvantage due to lack of financial resources and access to basic necessities.

The Cova Project purchases and supplies menstrual cups to local community partners for distribution to girls and womxn who cannot afford these products. They work with local community partners to provide menstrual health education tailored to cultural norms and language. 

If every womxn had the ability to experience her cycle, equipped with tools that make it possible to remain in school or at work every day of the year, they would have a much greater chance at being competitive and thriving in these environments.

The Cova Project is proud to work in service to this goal.

(We use the term ‘womxn’ to be inclusive of trans and nonbinary people)
