Growing up shouldn’t include shame, confusion, or silence about our bodies.

Yet for many young girls, conversations about periods, body changes, and self-care still happen in whispers—if they happen at all. That silence can lead to fear, misinformation, and shame during some of the most formative years of life.

🌙Sister Moon is a first -period education and empowerment experience designed to break stigma around menstruation while equipping girls with the knowledge, confidence, and resources they need to thrive.

🦋Participants are gently guided through a powerful moment of transformation in a safe and affirming space as they learn about their bodies in an age-appropriate way.

🌸This experience is geared towards girls 8-13 years of age who are yet to have their period, or have recently started their period. There will be activities, snacks and goodie bags!

Why This Matters

At the PATESI Foundation, we believe access to education is access to dignity.

By creating space for honest, empowering conversations early on, Sister Moon helps:

Normalize menstruation
Reduce stigma before it takes root
Equip girls with knowledge they can carry into adolescence and beyond

This program directly supports our mission to alleviate period poverty and empower communities through education and access.
