Stop Period Poverty for Girls in Morocco

Hi Friends!

We’re excited to share an exciting update with you - one that highlights the power of innovation, collaboration, and community-driven solutions. Today, we’re proud to talk to you more about the heart of this initiative: the Soar x Hurya kit.

In the wake of the earthquake in Morocco on September 8, 2023, Project Soar recognised an urgent need for practical, sustainable menstrual solutions for girls living in underserved communities. In collaboration with Hurya, an innovative Moroccan brand specialising in reusable menstrual underwear, we developed the Soar Hurya kit - designed in the Global South, for the Global South. 

What’s Inside the Kit?

Each Soar Hurya kit contains: 1 reusable boxer,  2 reusable briefs, 1 reusable pad, a waterproof storage bag, and an education brochure on how to use the products and general menstrual health information. 

Designed to for 3-5 years, each item is practical, quick-drying, and capable of meeting the user’s needs throughout their entire cycle. The kit is also economical and environmentally friendly, replacing disposable products for several years.

This is more than just a menstrual kit. It’s a culturally sensitive, durable, and adapted solution tailored to the realities of adolescent girls navigating period poverty in resource-limited environments. Through a collaborative design process - refining eight prototypes - we developed a final kit that empowers girls to manage their periods with dignity and confidence. By working directly with adolescents to assess comfort, durability, and practicality, we ensured the kit is effective and user-friendly.

By providing sustainable menstrual products alongside comprehensive menstrual health education, the Soar Hurya kit is driving long-term social change. It’s not just about products; it’s about restoring dignity, safeguarding education, and ensuring girls can participate fully in daily life and focus on their futures - free from the limitations imposed by menstrual insecurity.

Thanks to your continued generosity, you are supporting a movement that transforms lives - one girl, one kit, one future at a time.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we are ensuring that these girls can break the cycle of period poverty - lifting up not just themselves, but their families, communities, and the world along with them. 

With heartfelt gratitude,
The Project Soar Team.

Hi Friends!

We are thrilled to share a heartfelt update with you - our incredible supporters!

Thanks to your unwavering generosity, Stop Period Poverty in Morocco continues to thrive, providing sustainable menstrual kits and life-changing education to young girls throughout Morocco. But this initiative goes far beyond distributing supplies; it’s about empowering girls to embrace their bodies with pride, break free from shame and stigma, and take control of their futures.

Today, we are excited to introduce you to one of our outstanding Menstrual Health Mentors, Elhaou Fatima Ezzahra. Fatima, a 25-year-old medical doctor completing her thesis, has dedicated herself to improving health education for young women. Her words capture the essence of why this work is so critical:

"Improving health education for young women, especially in areas that affect their self-esteem, mental health, and well-being, has always been one of my most important goals. Menstrual health, in particular, is often overlooked, but it plays a key role in preventing infections, building confidence, and fostering body positivity."

Fatima Ezzahra shared how the combination of Project Soar's workshops and menstrual kits creates lasting change:

"The workshops provide a safe space for girls to ask questions, learn, and connect with the mentors. This knowledge gives them confidence and resilience in managing their health. The kits add practical value - they contain essential products that some girls might not otherwise have access to, empowering them to manage their periods with dignity and comfort."

This is at the heart of our mission - to create spaces where girls feel seen, heard, and empowered, turning menstruation into a source of strength rather than shame. Through these workshops, facilitated by passionate mentors like Fatima Ezzahra, girls are not only learning to manage their periods but also building self-esteem and becoming agents of change within their communities. Each workshop and kit helps keep girls in school, reduces the risk of early marriage, and ensures they have the opportunity to pursue their dreams uninterrupted by period insecurity.

None of this would be possible without your continued support. By standing with Project Soar, you are not only providing menstrual supplies - you are fueling a movement that promotes dignity, confidence, and opportunity for girls across Morocco.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Your generosity is making a lasting impact, and together, we are ensuring that no girl’s potential is limited by her period.

Warmest wishes,

The Project Soar Team
