PATESI Foundation

The PATESI Foundation aims to provide education and support to empower communities, and alleviate period and postpartum bleeding poverty by providing access to no cost, high quality and appropriate menstrual and maternity products. Our vision: A world where everyone has access to reproductive health information and menstruators, regardless of gender identity, have menstrual products in efforts to alleviate social stigmas associated with menstruation, raise awareness of postpartum hemorrhage, and empower communities.

Volunteers help with creating first period kits, menstrual kits, postpartum kits, and hygiene kits for communities in need including schools, those in shelters or experiencing homelessness, families, and those in foster care. Volunteers may also help with donation drives, assembling packages, reviewing documents and creating campaigns.
