500 million women experience period poverty each month.
CouldYou? provides a scalable and sustainable solution to period poverty by providing menstruators with health education and the 100% medical-grade silicone CouldYou? menstrual cup. The CouldYou? Cup can be worn safely for 12 hours, and one cup can be used for over 10 years empowering girls to stay in school and for menstruators everywhere to never need to choose between buying food or buying menstrual products.
CouldYou?’s distribution of MAX Repellent has proven over 99% effective in preventing bites that lead to malaria, West Nile virus, dengue fever, zika virus and lyme disease. Combined with rural education and the #stopthebite awareness campaign, CouldYou? provides a sustainable and effective approach to eradicating malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases in addition to providing employment opportunities for communities.
