For every 9 pads, liners or cups sold Genial Day donates 1 package to a menstruator in need.
As an entrepreneur,
I feel blessed to be able to help more people than I ever imagined. Here are the most significant projects that we are involved with as Genial Day in the U.S. and Gentle Day in Europe.
Pads for those in need
We have donated over 500'000 pads for women and girls in need. Our donations went to youth organization PERIOD.ORG, to Moms' Union, which helps women to care for their children who have cancer, to Woman's Choice Charitable Association, to the Crisis Pregnancy Center, to the survivors of the hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas. We constantly provide sanitary napkins and educational materials on girls' puberty to schools across Lithuania.
Knowledge empowers.
As I watched my daughter grow, I realized the importance of trust and open communication around the issues of puberty and menstruation. How we address these topics affect teens’ confidence and psychological well-being. I’ve always encouraged my daughter to ask me questions and to never feel embarrassed about it. I wanted the same to other girls, so I‘ve started a project called ECO Generation in my native country of Lithuania. The goal is to empower young girls by helping them better understand their bodies and minds during puberty and to introduce them to available menstrual products while emphasizing ecology, sustainability and teaching them proper recycling.
We’ve donated over 50,000 sanitary napkins to local schools.
In other words, we've made 50,000 periods go by easier and helped girls just entering womanhood feel more confident and live healthier, more fulfilling, lives.
Mothers’ Union
A visit to the Oncology Department of the Children’s Hospital was heartbreaking. The short visit was the start of our friendship with Mamų unija (Mothers’ Union)–a Lithuanian Charity that helps mothers and families of children going through cancer treatment.
Supporting Pregnant Women
It all started by planting a tree in the Garden of Life. That's where I have met four amazing ladies who guide and council women going through the crisis of unplanned pregnancy. Genial Day donates it's products to Crisis Pregnancy Center, a non-profit organization that helps meet the medical and psychological needs of pregnant women, in addition to providing daily necessities.
