Host community meetings
When introducing the cup into a new community, we hold meetings inviting everyone in the community to inform, and to give them a forum to voice concerns and questions.
The CouldYou? Model
CouldYou? is committed to finding sustainable solutions to the issue of period poverty. Ending period poverty is not just about providing a product, it’s about breaking stigmas and misconceptions as well as normalizing menstruation. Therefore we use a multi-disciplinary approach to ending period poverty once and for all.
CouldYou? supports UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. Read more about U.N. Sustainable Development Goals and what CouldYou? is doing to reach these goals and how they relate to menstruation.
