cycle circles: understand your cycle and yourself
CYCLE CIRCLES (or CCs) are beaded bracelets featuring five bold colors to help young women just starting menstruation tune in to their cycles—so they can feel confident each day. The order of the colors in a CC provides a guide as to what can be expect during different phases of the menstrual cycle.
A great gift and an opportunity for important conversations with sisters, daughters, and friends, CC's also give back, facilitating the provision of UhuruPads menstrual hygiene products, undergarments, and critically needed health and hygiene for girls in East Africa.
CYCLE CIRCLE proceeds are used by the non-profit Foot Forward Fund (a US 501c3 which oversees the production and distribution of UhuruPads in East Africa) to fund the girls participating in our program which focuses on building their confidence, understanding of menstrual health and normalcy, and keeping girls in school.
