Maya's Ideas 4 The Planet (MI4TP)

We ramped up our supplying and supporting of local Atlanta food banks and food pantries because youth out of school who rely and depend on school lunches for food, and other vulnerable communities and families dealing with food insecurity, are going through an incredibly difficult time and need our support now more than ever. 

In 2013 Maya launched a project where she designed and created eco-friendly reusable/rewashable sanitary pads for girls in countries in need. Many menstruators that have access to education cannot go to school on their monthly cycle because they have no sanitary pads to wear and taking around 5 days a month out of school can lead to youth dropping out of school. Since the project launch Maya's Ideas 4 The Planet has worked with MedShare and Youth Action Without Borders to distribute 3,000 sanitary pad kits. Since then the kits have been shipped to healthcare facilities in Haiti, Senegal, Cameroon, and Somalia.
