We Could Have Been Her

UNDER HER

Under Her building healthy self esteem, sisterhood and emotional support among disadvantaged women and young girls by providing provision and basic feminine care necessities.

MISSION

It is our mission to serve vulnerable and disadvantaged young women and female-identified people with basic reproductive health and hygiene needs by distributing basic feminine and personal-care products, including bras, sanitary napkins, body soaps and official #UnderHer pocket calendars to track menstrual cycles. These products are included in our Vanity Bags, which we distribute free of charge in the community. Our ultimate goal is to promote positive, transformational social change by building healthy self-esteem, sisterhood and socio-emotional support in our communities.

VISION

We envision a world in which no woman suffers the indignity of being unprepared for feminine hygiene issues.

Integrity

We believe that all women have an inherent integrity and that this integrity must be restored, nurtured and protected in safe spaces and through sisterhood.

Compassion

We believe that it is through compassion and empathy that we will all find healing and embrace our own dignity.

Community

We believe that only by binding together in strong communities can we truly become our best selves.
