Did you know that nearly 1 in 5 girls have missed school because they can’t afford period protection? It’s not just school they miss. It also means missing out on activities they love, like sports practices, drama club, or student council.
At puberty, girls’ confidence plummets, and having to miss activities because of lack of access to period products only makes this drop in confidence worse. Missing out can limit a girl’s potential and opportunities far beyond puberty.
We’re so excited to support Always & Walmart's Live #LikeAGirl campaign to spread the word about this important issue as they work to #EndPeriodPoverty. Always and Walmart are donating a year’s supply of period products to 50 teams in 50 states, so girls in need don’t have to miss out on the activities they love because they don’t have access to period protection.

This is a very real issue...women and girls who live in poverty cannot afford feminine hygiene products. Food pantries and charities only get them based on donations.
Ty Walmart for helping
Thank you for helping spread the word to help girls everywhere. Very compelling video
Very informative and helpful
I have donated feminine hygiene products to charitable organizations in the past. Its so important to give back. These girls should have the confidence to live their life to the fullest without anything to hold them back
This is sad but inspiring at the same time. Thank you Walmart and Always for stepping up and helping these girls so they don't have to worry about something most of us take for granted.
I am sad I didn't know this was an issue.
SO Inspiring!
Beautiful!
So inspiring!
Please join in this amazing movement!
Amazing!
A seemingly small thing to one person is a huge road block to others. Glad to see social consciousness from Always and Walmart.
