FEMMECUP Launches One for One Campaign

One of Hambleside Merchandise’s customers, Femmecup, has launched a campaign to raise at least £30,000 in order to become a fully-fledged ONE FOR ONE business. Femmecup is stocked in the UK and exports to 20 countries. Femmecup is involved with charitable projects in Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, and Nepal, offering thousands of women and girls access to low cost, safe, reliable, discreet and much needed sanitary protection. They could go to school again every day of the month, function normally during their period and regain their self-respect, shrugging off the shame they often felt about menstruating. Today, they want to go a step further and make Femmecup a fully-fledged ONE FOR ONE business thereby helping many thousands more women and girls both in the UK and Worldwide. Femmecup is working with the charity CRISIS in the UK to reach homeless women and women in refuges nationwide. Femmecup is looking to raise at least £30,000 to upscale their UK manufacturing process, thereby reducing the unit cost for their products enabling them to implement the ONE FOR ONE system. For some women in developing countries their period means exclusion, shame and embarrassment. For girls it means time off school every single month, this impacts their education leaving them disadvantaged. Giving a school girl a Femmecup enables them to have reliable, safe and comfortable protection; this is simply life changing. Closer to home we can offer women the chance to have a reusable, low cost, healthy, green alternative sanitary solution. A homeless woman who is given a Femmecup instantly has sanitary protection for years to come. Femmecup has successfully been working with NGOs in Kenya, Nepal, Ghana and Uganda for the past few years, distributing thousands of Femmecups and improving women's lives. Kate Selby, Founder of Femmecup said: “Every penny we raise will help achieve our goal to make Femmecup available to EVERY woman. Together we can change lives. Please support our campaign and enable us to reach females in the UK and abroad. For us to be able to realise our dream of giving one Femmecup to those in need for EVERY Femmecup purchased would mean the world to us and our business.” Please visit http://igg.me/at/femmecupone to find further details and to make a donation.
