Our Important Charities
Every month we send product donations provided by our top-notch Tsuno customers to a number of Australian charities supporting women experiencing homelessness or those seeking asylum. Each charity has a story and a mission we whole-heartedly support - because everyone deserves to menstruate with dignity.
The Asylum Seeker Resource Centre / Victoria
Based in Melbourne, Victoria, the ASRC are an independent organisation delivering direct services to some of the most disadvantaged people in our community. Over half of their clients have no income at all, and nearly 90% live below the current poverty line. Struggling to make it from day to day without healthcare or settlement services, what they are faced with is destitution and adversity.
The ASRC is providing in-house provision of essential items such as bedding, nappies and phone cards and their ‘supermarket model’ Foodbank gives asylum seekers the autonomy to select food.
The Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC) is Australia's leading advocate for asylum seekers. Your generous donations make ongoing menstrual dignity possible for these women. These product donations can be tax deductible through the ASRC, and all donations are sent directly to the centre.
You can help by creating a subscription or purchasing a one-off donation here, which supplies women with sanitary pads through the Foodbank who’d otherwise go without.
Essentials 4 Women SA / South Australia
In April 2015, Kelly Peacock and Amy Rust started a charity called Essentials 4 Women SA. E4WSA are a product donation campaign seeking sanitary items and new underwear for homeless and disadvantaged women, many of whom are victims of domestic violence. These sorts of items are rarely donated from members of the public for a variety of reasons but mostly because they don’t realise these bare necessities are not provided to women in need for free.
For disadvantaged women, Essentials 4 Women SA aims to provide the basic, but costly, items for feminine hygiene including sanitary products and underwear. Their passion for helping women promises to help empower and enhance the wellbeing and dignity for some of the most vulnerable people in our community.
Their long term goal is to get to a point in South Australia were vulnerable women no longer need to menstruate without dignity and to resort to disturbing decisions such as making the choice between either buying food or buying essential sanitary items.

Share The Dignity provide at-risk and homeless women across Australia with period products because no woman should suffer the indignity of choosing between eating and buying sanitary items. Pads donated through the Tsuno donation mission are passed on in bulk to Share the Dignity to distribute to the relevant charities and shelters at the end of each half yearly donation drive. You can read more about these amazing drives here here www.sharethedignity.com.au. By choosing to donate Tsuno, you’re providing a quality, environmentally and socially aware product to those who need it most.
Pinchapoo (Aussie slang for pinch-a-shampoo) is proudly responsible for creating the quite genius and cheeky hotel toiletry ‘pinching’ movement 11 years ago… and for good reason!
Building on this modern day Robin Hood concept, they have redistributed more than 7 MILLION personal hygiene products to thousands of disadvantaged men, women and children nationally each year. Pinchapoo is the biggest national NFP supplier of personal hygiene products and works with over 550 leading organisations, community groups and government institutions as a total hygiene solution, providing a reliable source of customised packs to EVERYBODY in EVERY situation of need
1 in 6 Australian families are forced to make the heart-breaking decision between buying food and personal hygiene products every week. It is Pinchapoos vision to change this stat to reflect every Australian having access to this basic human right, essential to mental and physical wellbeing.
