Imagine a young girl missing school simply because she can't afford basic feminine hygiene products. Sadly, this is a reality for one in four American girls and young women. Women in Training, Inc. tackles this issue head-on by providing monthly donations of WITKITS—canvas bags loaded with essential menstrual, dental and hygiene items—to girls and young women. Since 2019, WIT volunteers have distributed an impressive 30,000 WITKITS, making a significant dent in alleviating period poverty. Alongside the WIKITS, Women in Training offers educational programs about menstruation and even publishes a handy brochure, "The WIT Guide to the Menstrual Cycle." So, each WITKIT does more than just provide immediate relief; it keeps girls in school, educates them, and offers them the chance to focus on their education without interruptions. In doing so, WITKITS lay down the foundation for both personal and academic growth, serving as a true enabler of lifelong development.
Our most significant impact in five years is successfully advocating for unanimous passage of HB 50 in the Alabama legislature. This law, sponsored by Representative Rolanda Hollis, allocates $400,000 annually to the Alabama Department of Education to provide menstrual supplies to girls in Title I schools with a high percentage of students who qualify for free and reduced price lunch.
Women In Training, Inc. will hold its Fourth Annual WIT Mother-Daughter Brunch to help End Period Poverty on Saturday, March 1, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at the Renaissance Montgomery Hotel and Spa at the Convention Center. Please join us!
The WIT Mother-Daughter Brunch Steering Committee is headed by Alabama State Representative Rolanda Hollis, WIT Board Chairwoman.
