HAGO is an anti-poverty organization based in Brampton Ontario, that aims to eliminate period poverty in Canada and developing countries. They have distributed hundreds of thousands of menstrual products since 2018. They serve individuals and centers across Canada, the Caribbean, and a few African countries.
Period poverty is a worldwide health crisis that affects mental health, reproductive health, self-esteem, and confidence. Reusable pads not only reduce waste to landfills but also ensure that individuals have consistent access to period products for years at a time, eliminating period poverty sustainably.
