Community Support

Dignity support in communities

Period equity is a right, not a privilege. We gift free period products to people who don’t have access.

Period products are an essential not a luxury, but we know a lot of people can’t afford products, on top of everything else – so we work with amazing Give Partners across Aotearoa, to help ensure our gifted products get into the hands of the people who need it the most.

Benefits of partnering with Dignity

Wide range of free, organic, sustainable products for your community

Educational material and posters to explain how the products work

Friendly, professional service

A dedicated Account Manager for orders and deliveries

Testimonials

Neveh

Wellington Women’s House

"It is so amazing that we can provide our residents with free sanitary products and break down the barriers of accessibility – we are very grateful to be partnered with Dignity. Thank you again for your support and all the incredible mahi that you do to work towards achieving period equity for women in Aotearoa!"

Connie Boston

He Waka Eke Noa Charitable Trust

"He Waka Eke Noa Charitable Trust believes in period equity for all menstruators, so we have Dignity products and disposal bins in each stall at our facility. We tend to see 100+ people a week using our rehearsal space, Kete Aronui, and the demand for period products remains high. By being able to provide period products to our users, we continue to maintain our status as a welcoming and inclusive space. We received a shipment of AWWA period underwear, which was in high demand among our users, and we are so grateful for the support of Dignity, as without them, we would not be able to provide access to these products. There continues to be shame and stigma around periods, and we are happy to have these products on display to help remove some of those negative feelings."

Rachel

Whangarei Youth Space

"Dignity, you are incredible! The sanitary products you have provided have been life-changing for many girls and their whānau.

As an NGO, we are unable to purchase sanitary products as we just don’t have the budget, so being able to improve accessibility has been very career rewarding.

Being able to provide education on a range of topics that are often taboo and allowing our health team to talk more about our bodies is also really helpful from a health perspective. We are very appreciative of your support!"
