Review for The Kwek Society, Arlington, VA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I'm a teacher in a rural school and most of my students are at or below the poverty line. I tried my best to keep extra boxes of feminine supplies on hand for them because I always had girls coming and asking for help with supplies. On a teacher's salary, this was extremely difficult. There were many times when I just couldn't provide extra supplies because I couldn't afford it. When I heard about The Kwek Society, it blew my mind. We immediately reached out, and they jumped in to help. They have provided all 400 plus of our female students with supplies for the past three years, and even more importantly, they are normalizing periods for our students. I don't hear "that's gross" or "ew" anymore. The girls are very open about things with each other, and every student--male and female--knows that the period pantry is in my classroom and freely available to anyone in need. Thank you so much for changing our school atmosphere and for helping my students in need!!
