Our story

The Flow Forward Foundation is a student-led organization based in Overland Park, Kansas, dedicated to alleviating the impact of period poverty on our community. The Flow Forward Foundation was created by three high school students who envision a future without period poverty. A future where menstruators don't have to miss school due to periods. A future where they can afford the basic hygiene products they need to manage menstruation with safety and dignity. Our name, "Flow Forward," represents the progress and concrete change we aim to create, striving for every menstruator to feel safe and comfortable throughout their cycle and beyond. We are determined to make a difference in our fight for menstrual equity.

What we do

Through various initiatives such as drives and fundraisers, we strongly believe in the power of breaking the chains of period poverty via extensive community involvement. Advocacy and education efforts will aid us in destigmatizing the topic of menstruation, empowering menstruators to live their best lives. Menstrual hygiene accessibility is a human right.
