Help A Girl Out
Who We Are
Help A Girl Out is a Canadian based not-for-profit organization that aims to reduce period poverty, eliminate the shame attached to menstruation, build self-esteem and reinforce gender equality.
We create and distribute care packages with feminine hygiene and sanitary products to underprivileged females in the GTA and in developing countries around the world. We host events and workshops that aim to educate and empower individuals in society.
