Support Period Positivity.

We’re inviting our community to invest in a more period-positive South Africa. QRATE works across schools and communities to ensure that young people have access to menstrual health education, dignity, and safe spaces to learn and grow.

To continue this work, we rely on the generosity of our community. Financial contributions go a long way in helping us deliver workshops, resources, and outreach programmes that empower young people and break stigma around menstruation.

If you’re able to support, you can make a donation here: https://pay.yoco.com/qrate-period

Every contribution helps us continue building informed, confident, and period-positive communities. Period. 🩸✨

Think Halloween is scary?
Try bleeding without pads.
Try missing class because you can’t manage your period.
Try pretending you’re “fine” when dignity costs too much.

It’s time to end the real horror story.

No more scary periods. Just empowered ones.
