IMPROVEMENTS

Negative: The website page for The Homeless Period Project does not provide enough information about the organization

Negative: The organization website has not been up to date so constantly keeping up spreading awareness would bring more attention

CO -founders: Sharron Phillips and Stephanie Arnold.

The Homeless Period Project focuses on women who are in need of menstrual products and create kits that have feminine hygiene products such as pads or wipes.

The goal of the project is to provide women and girls with sanitary products. At the same time, educate and bring awareness to end stigma of menstruation in our society.

The organization provides not only homeless women but young girls in school who miss school because of periods.

Negative: individuals who do not take the issue serious may use the organizations as a target

Positive: Most events are collaborative with the community which brings more attention to the issue

Partner up with other organizations or have volunteers (Seniors, schools) to create packages fro homeless women and young girls who go to school

Positive: Some of the goals they have achieved are serving 1000 students each month in 41 schools, has chapters in 13 states, supplied 60,000 period packs in its first two years.
