When students don’t have access to menstrual products, they may experience anxiety, shame, and embarrassment, which can lead to them missing school, extracurricular activities, and social opportunities.
Period Promise is devoted to driving fundamental change and achieving menstrual equity in our schools.
Thanks to product sponsorship from Procter & Gamble, United Ways across the province are joining together to provide free menstrual products to select schools across Alberta.
Feedback from students is vital to understanding how period poverty affects youth in our community – particularly those who may be marginalized. Responses are completely anonymous, and data collected will help United Way and its partners better support the needs of people affected by period poverty and work toward achieving menstrual equity in our communities.

We are all Treaty people. United Way acknowledges our connection to one another, here on Treaty 6 Territory and Métis Nation of Alberta North Saskatchewan River Territory. The diverse Indigenous Peoples of this land include the nêhiyawak, Blackfoot, Dene, Anishinaabe, Nakota Sioux, Inuit, and Métis. Many of our staff are settlers living and working in this Territory. We all have a responsibility to uphold the spirit and intent of the original treaties and build relationships, trust, and understanding. We are grateful for the resources, knowledge, and culture Indigenous people share with us as we walk the path towards reconciliation together. We honour and respect Indigenous contributions supporting our work to ensure no one in our community is left behind.
