The Pad Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to achieving menstrual equity worldwide. They have garnered recognition through their involvement in the 2019 Academy Award-winning documentary short, Period. End of Sentence.

Their mission is to end period stigma and empower women and menstruators by creating local and global partnerships. The organization takes a multi-pronged approach to menstrual equity, which includes establishing pad-making enterprises, distributing menstrual products, and implementing menstrual health education programs. The Pad Project tackles period poverty by providing grants to school districts and grassroots organizations across the United States to purchase bulk menstrual supplies.

They also work internationally, providing menstrual products and conducting educational workshops in countries such as India, Nepal, Kenya, and Sri Lanka. The organization combines pad machines or washable pad programs with community partnerships and sexual and reproductive health education. By addressing the lack of access to sanitary supplies and providing educational resources, The Pad Project aims to ensure that menstruators can manage their periods with dignity and stay in school.

Ultimately, their goal is to empower women and all menstruators worldwide to achieve menstrual equity
