Affiliate Director of I Support the Girls - Metro Manila at I Support The Girls - Wheaton, MD, US
A woman shouldn't have to choose between feeding herself and her personal health. I Support the Girls collects and distributes donations of new and gently used bras, and individually sealed tampons and maxi pads to women and girls nationally and internationally. Whether they be homeless, refugees, in transitional housing, or fleeing domestic violence, women and girls should never have to compromise on dignity.Women and girls who find themselves homeless shouldn't have to worry about finding bras, much less proper menstrual products. Yet they wear the same bra for years, potentially causing health problems, and each month have to make a choice between paying for meals or buying a box of tampons.Every woman should have the ability to maintain her dignity! This is our mission- to restore dignity and self-respect to women.Since its founding, ISTG has collected and distributed over 2,000,000 products to 180,000 women through 400 vetted partners. ISTG has 45 affiliates across the United States and international affiliates in Canada, Australia, the Philippines, Thailand, Mexico and Pakistan.
