My Nonprofit Reviews

I am a school social worker in an isolated rural community in Southeast Alaska. My students struggle with access to high quality period products and healthy messaging around puberty and identity. The support that my students received from the Kwek Society was like a miracle. This nonprofit understands issues impacting native American and Alaska Native girls and teens and has created a highly impactful program to powerfully address those needs. Within a week, the Kwek society provided my students with a diverse array of high quality period products, beautiful moon bags, new underwear and sports bras, and excellent kid-friendly puberty literature. The Kwek Society shared high quality puberty education information with me that transformed my puberty education efforts with my entire school.

After we began working with the Kwek Society, students now regularly stop by my office for period products, to read my puberty books, and to talk (and sometimes laugh) about their puberty experiences. The supplies provided by the Kwek society positively impacted our school culture, the quality of social work and health education students receive, student access to the supplies they need when they are having their periods, and student comfort with talking about their growth and development.
