What’s Freda’s Mission?

At Freda, we believe that access to period care is a basic human right. That’s why we’ve incorporated a giveback pledge at the core of our business, supporting and empowering women and girls in need.

We cannot tackle period poverty single-handedly, so we simply aim to use our voice to advocate and campaign for universal access to period care products and girls’ right to education. We donate a portion of our profits to initiatives addressing those issues.

So far we’ve partnered with Bloody Good Period to deliver period products those in need at no profit..

Humanitarian Aid

At Freda, we are frequently partnering with NGOs to provide period products to those in need in times of crisis. At the moment, we are providing money to our contacts in the UAE to buy and donate pads to the UAE Red Crescent. The pads will be provided to women and girls displaced in Gaza once humanitarian aid is allowed in.

Your contribution will go a long way in meeting this urgent need. As a small startup, we are unable to meet this demand without it. If you would like to help provide the displaced women and girls with period care, please click the link below. Any contribution is welcome.

Thank you.

Our approach

A main focus of our subscription service is supporting and empowering women and girls in need. We’ve selected our non-profit partners because they’ve got:

• An on-the-ground presence with direct links to the community they serve

• Small but effective operations

• A vision for sustainable period care solutions for those in need and most vulnerable.

Bloody Good Period

Bloody Good Period deliver period supplies, that people donate, to asylum seeker drop-in centres and food banks. They work to end period poverty on the ground by providing these products to those who can’t afford them, along with long-term menstrual education.

How Freda helps: We use some of our profits to make our pads available at cost for their initiative enabling BGP to get more pads for their money.

A Bloody Good Cause

An initiative started by two friends who collect donations of sanitary products and distribute them to homeless shelters, women’s refuges and refugee centres. Sophie and Sanya personally identify the need and make sure the donations are delivered to those who need them most. BGC was inspired by The Homeless Period’s petition, demanding that the UK government provide sanitary products for homeless shelters – an initiative that Freda wholeheartedly supports.

How Freda helps: we support BGC’s campaigns by publicising their mission and by donating sanitary pads that we collect from our customer community and networks.
