Ma’i Movement Project

After our Sunday Dharma Service on October 20, Prudence led us in packing Period Care Kits that will be donated to Ma'i Movement Hawai’i, a local non-profit organization committed to ending period poverty in Hawaii. The kits contain a month's worth of menstrual products and is distributed to anyone who requests them, free of charge.

Ma'i Movement Hawaii Social Concerns Activity

We assembled 100 period care kits for the Ma’i Movement

After our Remembrance Day Service, Prudence led us in a Social Concerns project to assemble 100 period care kits for Ma'i Movement Hawai'i, a grassroots organization working to end period poverty in Hawaii. We learned about the organization a few years ago when we participated in a period product drive. To learn more, visit their website at https://maimovement.org/
