The Kwek Society

The Kwek Society We get moon time + Auntie bags, basic period care items (e.g. pads, tampons, + liners), + puberty books to US Indigenous students + their peers. Join us!

We support some Indigenous communities + we seek out + share traditional teachings about moon time. We're a member of the Alliance for Period Supplies; we support Indigenous folks across Turtle Island. Want to send us period products via Amazon? Please shop our Amazon wish list instead to have your donations shipped directly to The Kwek Society -- we'll get them out to students and communities we

serve, ASAP! Here's the wish list link: https://smile.amazon.com/hz/charitylist/ls/1NV0JFVJ987MH/ref=smi_ext_lnk_lcl_cl. Migwetch/thank you for your generosity!

It's National Nonprofit Day, and The Kwek Society is celebrating our amazing community!

We've made so many beautiful connections over the past 8 years on our collective path towards ending period poverty---all of which would not be possible without you!

Thank you for helping us put period products directly into the hands of Indigenous students and their peers!

Ending period poverty is a part of The Kwek Society's core mission, and to do that we would love to partner with more schools!

If you know of any schools with sizeable Indigenous student populations, please reach out with solid contact details (trusted adults at the schools we support are key to our success), or even better, make an email introduction for us at [email protected]!

Dream team with the fruits of our labors. We packed up 4 boxes of Auntie bags off to Pine Ridge, SD —that’s 93 bags, each filled with 20 pads; and 2 boxes filled with 350 moon time bags — each filled with 3 pads and 2 liners — off to Navajo Nation, NM.

Grateful to all the sewists who make and fill the bags for The Kwek Society. Kathy-Greg Webb, some of those moon time bags are your handiwork! Chi migwetch!

A few months ago, The Kwek Society started sending period products to our first partner in Massachusetts, North American Indian Center of Boston!

This center serves Indigenous area youth, among others. We are proud to report that NAICB-involved youth now have our moon time bags filled with period care, along with boxes of items from which they can select period care products they wish to use.

The Kwek Society is proud to be an Indigenous-founded and Indigenous-led nonprofit. Our mission is two-fold: to end period poverty for Indigenous students and their peers, while sharing our knowledge and traditional teachings.

Today and everyday, we remind others that WE ARE STILL HERE.

Students at McIntosh School on the Standing Rock Reservation in South Dakota sent us this lovely photo of them receiving period products from The Kwek Society!

The school serves students from pre-K through 12th grade, so there are many menstruators who can benefit from increased access to free period products.

We're so delighted to be supporting McIntosh and ending period poverty for their students! But without you, our donors, we can't sustain this support. Please help us as you are able!

The Kwek Society is working around the clock to make sure our 250+ partner schools are stocked and ready for the upcoming school year!

We send our partners pads, tampons, period cups, and cotton underwear to help end period poverty among their student populations, and could always use some help!

It’s early August and that means we are starting to restock students with moon time care.

Shown here are volunteer Elise Wood, Director of Operations Juliana Jules, and Executive Director Eva Marie Carney, at our Saltbox office, in the midst of moon time and Auntie bags sewn and filled with supplies by our marvelous volunteer sewists.

Migwetch, kwe’k (thank you, ladies).
