Project Menstrucate was founded by Pia Vashi, a current medical student in the United Kingdom. While leading a workshop for girls with special needs during her earlier environmental work, Pia recognised a striking gap in menstrual health awareness, particularly among underprivileged and marginalised communities. Determined to turn insight into action, she founded Project Menstrucate, a long-term initiative tackling period stigma, poverty and education.

Project Menstrucate has collaborated with a variety of organisations, including primary schools in Birmingham, Birmingham and Solihull Women's Aid, CREDAI, Radisson and more. This network allows us to benefit vulnerable women in multiple cities, equipping them with medically accurate knowledge and practical advice on menstruation and distribution of free reusable menstrual pads.
