On the Dot: Advancing Menstrual
Equity and Women’s Health
On the Dot is our women’s health and menstrual equity initiative focused on ensuring that girls and women have consistent access to menstrual products, health education, and dignified care. We believe no one should have to choose between basic necessities and their health, and that access to menstrual products is a critical part of overall well-being.
In underserved communities, lack of access to menstrual products causes girls to miss school and women to miss work, limiting opportunity and stability. On the Dot exists to close this gap by providing consistent access to essential period care and support.
What We Do
Through On the Dot, we:
- Distribute essential menstrual products to girls and women in undeserved communities Support students and families connected to local public schools and trusted community partners
- Provide education and resources that promote menstrual health and overall women’s wellness
- Advocate for equity, dignity, and access in women’s health
- Every product delivered and every resource shared helps reduce stigma, improve school attendance, and support healthier outcomes.
Menstrual Product Drive: Amazon Wish List
One of the primary ways we support On the Dot is through our Menstrual Product Drive hosted on Amazon, making it easy for supporters to give directly. Donors can purchase much needed items such as pads, liners, and other hygiene supplies that are used in our community distributions.
All donations and purchased products go directly to girls and women in undeserved communities, ensuring timely and meaningful impact where it is needed most.
Whether you give one item or many, your support helps us provide consistent care each month, right on time.

Why It Matters
Menstrual health is not a luxury. It is a basic necessity. When girls and women have reliable access to products and support, they are better able to learn, work, and participate fully in daily life. Supporting On the Dot means investing in dignity, health, and opportunity.
Together, we are building a future where care is consistent, access is equitable, and no one is left without support.
