The Red Poppy Initiative


A student-led organization dedicated to providing period education to youth and facing period poverty

Welcome to The Red Poppy Initiative's homepage! TRPI strives to break the stigma surrounding conversations about menstrual health, fostering a safe and inclusive environment for all. Since they came together in June of 2024, their mission has focused on educating young individuals about menstruation, providing vital information that empowers them to make informed choices, and ensuring access to necessary menstrual products for those in need. Through community outreach and educational workshops, TRPI not only raises awareness but also directly supports individuals facing menstrual product scarcity.
