About

SisterFriend, Inc., based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is a non-profit organization committed to empowering individuals through menstrual health education and advocacy. Since our founding in 2015 by Tamara L. Abney, we have been passionate about breaking the stigma surrounding menstruation and ensuring that all individuals have access to the resources they need to manage their periods with dignity.

​

While we are proud of our history of providing over half a million menstrual products to those in need, we are excited to announce a new chapter in our mission. Moving forward, we will no longer directly distribute menstrual products. Instead, SisterFriend will focus on empowering the next generation of advocates through scholarships for emerging leaders in menstrual equity. These scholarships are designed to inspire young advocates and provide them with the tools to further the work of menstrual education, health, and access for all.

​

Our work continues to center on education and advocacy, as we believe that menstrual health is a fundamental human right. We remain committed to partnering with organizations, schools, and communities to raise awareness, foster education, and break down the barriers of period poverty. Through our scholarships and programming, we aim to support the next wave of change-makers who will lead the way in making menstrual equity a reality.

Join us in supporting this new vision—empowering voices, elevating education, and ensuring menstrual equity for all.
