Our Mini Drive program is expanding to schools across the country! Are you a middle or high school student (or teacher) wanting to make a difference? Run a drive, collect period products, and donate it back to your community. Join us to help end period poverty.

There are three ways to run Menstruation Nation in your school:

1. Run a mini drive- collect period products
2. and/ or host an online team fundraiser
3. Have an educational session

In 2017, a then-17-year-old high school student named Tait, began research for a program that would supply free pads and tampons within her school. Upon discovering The Period Purse, Tait began running product drives, and launched "Menstruation Nation" as a way to reduce the stigma around menstrual health.

In 2018, Tait won two graduating awards for leadership and community service. As a result of her commitment, Menstruation Nation continues to expand into schools across Ontario, educating high school students about period health and wellness.
