‘I had to cut up old clothes to use as period pads’

According to the World Bank there are an estimated 500 million people suffering from period poverty – that’s women and girls who can’t get access to basic products and facilities to deal with menstruation.

But one young woman from the UK decided to do something regarding it.

What started at home during lockdown has now turned into a global charity funded by donations, which helps thousands of women.

We went inside part of her operation in Lebanon, to see how the project is making a difference.
