The Pachamama Project
Description
The Pachamama Project (TPP) are on a mission to make sure no one is held back by their periods.
Around the world, people who menstruate miss out on education and opportunities because of period poverty. Founder Ella Lambert was inspired to tackle this, having missed days of education due to severe
period pain. She started making reusable pads while at university for people unable to afford products. Now TPP have 2,500+ volunteers worldwide and have supported over 20,000 people in 12 countries.
Alongside pads, they run workshops covering reproductive health and how to manage periods safely and confidently. They have ambitions to scale but don’t have the staff to realise this.
With our funding, TPP plan to expand their team to diversify income to fuel the doubling of their impact in just three years.
