The Kwek Society began as an advocacy and philanthropic response to an online piece by Eleanor Goldberg, Why Many Native American Girls Skip School When They Have Their Periods. Google "what its like to be a teen in the us who cant afford tampons" to learn more about what motivates us! Kwe’k means ‘women’ in the Potawatomi language. We are The Women’s Society. The Kwek Society provides pads, tampons, liners, and underwear, along with moon time bags sewn by our supporters (cotton pouches in which to carry period supplies discreetly) and educational materials, to Native American students and communities without affordable access to these expensive menstrual supplies. We are guided by the needs of the individual communities we support. We support and trumpet the successes of Native Americans and fulfill their other material needs when possible. We also work to shine light on the inequities experienced by those we help. Please join us! See kweksociety.org for more information on what you can do to support this human rights and human dignity work.
