Cycle Circle Action Kit

Proceeds from the sale of Her Best Foot Forward products facilitate girls education - including through our own initiative UhuruPads (Tanzania's first compostable sanitary pads). In support of this effort, we're pleased to offer CYCLE CIRCLES (or CCs) beaded bracelets featuring five bold colors to help young women just starting menstruation tune in to their cycles—so they can feel confident each day. The order of the colors in a CC provides a guide as to what can be expect during different phases of the menstrual cycle. This Video Explains How - with your help! - We Use Them! Here's How to Make Them! About Our Action Kits. On your own, with your family, team, or group, buy and make CC's to donate as a menstrual cycle tracking tool for girls in East Africa. CYCLE CIRCLE ACTION KITS come with: Beads and cords for stringing Instructions for stringing Details for returning your CC’s for donation We will distribute your completed CC’S as tools as part of our UhuruPads education program. PLUS, kit purchases also fund the distribution of our locally made (creating jobs for women!), eco-friendly pads and panties.

Why? As a small organization, we appreciate every penny we can save, pouring these funds back to support women and girls in need.
