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.

DONATE UHURUPADS MENSTRUAL HYGIENE & EDUCATION
Our locally made, eco-friendly, 100% compostable and biodegradable sanitary UhuruPads bring understanding, health, and hygiene to Tanzanian girls in need.
An an initiative of the US non-profit Foot Forward Fund, UhuruPads are made by women in a small production facility in Tanzania: this results in a critical product and desperately needed jobs. UhuruPads are the nation's only 100% 100% compostable sanitary pad and, through generous donors, we provide our pads, as well as undergarments and basic health and hygiene education to school-aged girls. Delivered with compassion and dignity, UhuruPads affirm the potential and worth of the girls who receive them. By purchasing Cycle Circles, you're helping with our efforts - thank you! If you'd like to make a tax-deductible donation to sponsor one or more girls, we'd be eternally grateful! |
