The Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC) is Australia's largest human rights organisation providing support to people seeking asylum. Based in Melbourne, Victoria, the ASRC is an independent organisation that doesn’t take federal government funding to support people seeking asylum while they rebuild their lives in the community. Many refugee families or people seeking asylum who access the ASRC don’t have the right to work, study or access Medicare, leaving them without the option of fending for themselves, making an income or taking steps for their future. 

The ASRC provides food and essentials for more than 1,400 people monthly. Its ‘supermarket model’, the ASRC Foodbank, gives people the autonomy to select food, essential toiletries, and cleaning goods. 

You can help by creating a subscription or purchasing a one-off donation here, which supplies women with sanitary pads through the ASRC Foodbank who may otherwise go without. 

Your generous donations make ongoing menstrual dignity possible. These product donations can be tax deductible through the ASRC, and all donations are sent directly to the centre. Thank you!

Women in our own Australian backyard are going without basic toiletries. Accessibility to simple items like deodorant, shampoo and soap prove challenging when the closest store can be up to 1000km away. Some communities are at the end of 750km of harsh, red dirt roads. Others can be cut off by flood waters for months at a time. Some are only accessible via boat or plane. Some communities may be lucky enough to have a small store, but the prices of basic items are exuberant.

Run by a network of volunteer coordinators situated in over 40 remote Australian communities, a Happy Box is a collection of toiletries and beauty products put together with care, and sent to an Indigenous woman in a remote community. It may include essential items such as shampoo, soap, deodorant, pads, tampons, and toothpaste or luxury self-care items such as make up, body scrub, face masks, journals candles, and hair accessories. The Happy Boxes Project collects and distributes these boxes to the Happy Box coordinators, with donations from individuals and businesses. They want to send as many Happy Boxes filled with self care products as possible. To provide women, regardless of their location and situation, the enjoyment of life’s little luxuries that we regularly take for granted.

Matriarchs are the backbone of our communities, Mothers, Sisters, Aunties, Grandmothers; all trying to support their families in adverse circumstances, quite often pouring from an empty cup. If just one Happy Box can fill one person’s cup, then what we do is more than worthwhile.

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 11 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 1800 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.

Based in Sydney, Asylum Seekers Centre (ASC) is a place of nurturing and welcome. It is an oasis for many people, a safe place for those who have fled situations of enormous danger. They provide practical and personal support for people living in the community who are seeking asylum and address the myriad of people’s complex needs offering a huge range of services under one roof - including assisting with groceries and sourcing sanitary items for those experiencing period poverty. Often sanitary items are not at the forefront of peoples minds when donating food, so donating Tsuno products means you are directly impacting whether someone has to choose between food or period products. You are giving dignity. You can help by creating a subscription or purchasing a one-off donation here, which supplies women with sanitary products who’d otherwise go without.

In April 2015, Kelly Peacock and Amy Rust started a charity called Essentials 4 Women SA, now known as The Period Project SA. The Period Project SA are a product donation campaign seeking sanitary items and new underwear for homeless and disadvantaged people, 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 the disadvantaged, The Period Project SA aims to provide the basic, but costly, items for periods 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 people 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.
