Femme International is a non-profit women's health organization that is dedicated to menstrual health and hygiene education. We are committed to advancing the rights of women and girls in East Africa through gender targeted programs. Lack of proper menstrual management is the number one reason girls miss or even drop out of school. With effective menstrual management, there are increased rates of school attendance, lower instances of reproductive infection and disease, and reduced engagements in prostitution. Accessibility to accurate and relevant information allows women and girls to understand and manage their reproductive health and gradually lift the restrictions and stigmas associated with menstruation.
What is Femme International?
What does the CU Chapter do?
We work to promote and support Femme International's central purpose and mission. In doing so, we hold multiple fundraisers each semester. Some of our past fundraisers include selling baked goods on National Homemade Bread Day, selling handmade jewelery and knitted products, selling handmade holiday cards, selling beta fish, etc. Our biggest fundraiser this semester was the Superhero Charity 5k Run. We are also involved in service in our CU and Boulder County community. Most recently, we fed the homeless with CU's Wesleyan Chapel. We are always looking for new opportunities.
