Get involved with Akinyi!

Your involvement with our work helps broaden Akinyi’s mission to support dignified periods, globally. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly at connect.akinyi@gmail.com for any questions or ideas you may have on getting involved!

  • You can follow us on Instagram and subscribe to our Monthly Newsletter! They are both great resources on staying up-to-date with our work!

  • Change begins with conversations! The act of brining people together to share stories of their menstrual experiences is an extraordinary way to be an advocate amongst your own community to dignify periods and learn from one another.

    Do you know the story of your mother’s first period? Have you ever asked what cultural or religious menstrual beliefs your friends hold? Stigma, shame, and discomfort surrounding menstruation is not just a reality in ‘other’ places.

    Fill out our contact form and we can give you an itinerary to host an event to talk intentionally about menstruation within your own community and learn about how these experiences are both similar and different from people’s experiences across the globe!

  • Does your company prioritize meaningful giving or want to be a corporate sponsor? We are registered with Point Loma Nazarene University as a 501(c)3 and can receive tax-deductible donations through our donation link.

  • We partner with NGOs, for-profit period product companies, and research institutions to expand the work of menstrual equity. If you’d like to collaborate on a project, send an email to Emma McHugh at emchugh@pointloma.edu to start the conversation!

  • If you’re passionate about menstrual equity and want to get involved with the “behind the scenes” of research, fundraising, advocacy, and project implementation, please fill out our contact form to get in touch!

  • One of the easiest way to get involved with Akinyi is by making a tax-deductible donation. These donations directly support our product distributions, research costs, programming development, and much more!
