EmpowHER Pouch Program: Supporting Young Women, Nurturing Dignity
At Lundynn's Bridges, we are excited to introduce our EmpowHER Pouch Program, a groundbreaking initiative set to launch in 2024. This program aims to provide essential support to young women in Atlanta Public Schools (APS) and beyond, ensuring they navigate their academic journey with confidence and dignity.
**Empowering Young Women:**
Recognizing the unique challenges faced by young women, especially during their menstrual cycle, the EmpowHER Pouch Program seeks to empower and uplift by addressing a fundamental need—access to menstrual hygiene products.
**Program Highlights:**
- **Distribution in APS Schools:** Initially, we will distribute EmpowHER pouches, essentially period packs, to select APS middle and high schools. Our goal is to expand this program to partner with all APS schools in the near future.
**Contents of the EmpowHER Pouch:**
- 2 sanitary napkins
- Clean pair of underwear
- Feminine wipe
- Ziploc bag for the disposal of soiled clothes
- A piece of chocolate for comfort and self-care
**Future Aspirations:** Our vision includes securing sponsors or partners to enhance the EmpowHER Pouch by including a pair of leggings. This addition aims to provide even more comfort and practicality to young women.
**Dignity, Comfort, and Beyond:**
The EmpowHER Pouch Program extends beyond school walls. A portion of the pouches will be dedicated to supporting unhoused women and others in need. By doing so, we hope to make a positive impact on the lives of those facing challenges that often go unnoticed.
**How You Can Contribute:**
We invite individuals, businesses, and organizations to join us in supporting the EmpowHER Pouch Program. Your contributions can make a meaningful difference in ensuring that young women have access to essential items that promote dignity, comfort, and confidence during challenging times.
**Get Involved:**
If you are passionate about supporting young women and believe in the importance of menstrual hygiene, consider partnering with us or making a donation to the EmpowHER Pouch Program. Together, we can create a community where every young woman feels supported, empowered, and confident as she pursues her education and dreams.
Join us at Lundynn's Bridges as we launch the EmpowHER Pouch Program, making strides toward a more compassionate and inclusive future for all.
