Reusable Menstrual Cups for Women's Health - EHF Fellows Vanessa & Rebecca Paranjothy, Freedom Cups
Channel: Edmund Hillary Fellowship
Date: 2018-08-02

Lack of access to sanitation and shame and social stigma around menstruation causes millions of women around the world to miss work and get sick, and also creates a lot of unnecessary waste. Freedom Cups co-founders Vanessa and Rebecca Paranjothy are providing a solution with their buy-one, give-one model for selling and distributing reusable menstrual cups in some of the world's poorest communities. http://www.freedomcups.org/
