The mission of The MoonCatcher Project is to To optimize girls’ lives worldwide by removing barriers related to menstruation. We envision a world where all girls participate fully in their lives and communities.
With our partners, we offer classes on menstrual and reproductive health to school girls and boys entering puberty. Our US-based partners travel to countries around the world and deliver our curriculum when they donate MoonCatcher Kits to school girls. We teach a girls and a boys curriculum.
In close partnership with other non-profit and faith organizations, we are empowering communities to build local sewing and soap-making cooperatives and make MoonCatcher Kits for their own communities using donated supplies and materials.
Our sewingbees (MoonBees) bring together diverse groups of volunteers to make MoonCatcher Kits for distribution to girls around the globe. We recognize the impact of period poverty in the U.S. and in our own community. Throughout the year, we host programs to collect disposable menstrual supplies and donate them to women’s shelters and food pantries.
