Meet the Heart Behind It All
Eta Sigma Gamma
Eta Sigma Gamma is a National Health Education Honorary consisting of students from the University of Maryland’s School of Public Health. ESG devotes itself to addressing multiple health issues every school year through student and staff-led initiatives. This semester, ESG is partnering with Girls Helping Girls. Period, to address the issue of period poverty, which has been a rising concern since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Kwek Society
The Kwek Society became a 501(c)(3) public charity with the goal of ensuring students’ dignity and health. They now collaborate with more than 40 schools and community-based organizations across North America, in rural areas, suburbs, and cities, to eradicate period poverty among Native Americans.
Girls Helping Girls. Period.
This 501(c)(3) non-profit partners with client agencies to get needed menstrual products to families in need.

What Are Our Donation Packs?
