2.The Always #EndPeriodPoverty campaign

WE ARE NOW FULLY SUBSCRIBED FOR THE #ENDPERIODPOVERTY INITIATIVE

• Registered before the 26th March? You will receive at least 800 pads in April/May (no action needed).
• Registered after the 26th March? You will be added to the list for the 2019-20 academic year (no action needed). 

We have had an overwhelming response to the #EndPeriodPoverty initiative and Always will continue to donate millions more sanitary products to help make sure no girl in need ever misses a day of school due to a lack of access to sanitary protection.
