Empowering Jamaican Women and Girls
Founded in 2016 by author and activist Shelly-Ann Weeks, the HerFlow Foundation is dedicated to empowering Jamaican women and girls through comprehensive reproductive health education, mentorship, and advocacy.
HerFlow’s flagship initiative, End Period Poverty JA, is committed to ensuring that no girl or woman is held back due to a lack of access to menstrual products. Through advocacy, education, and direct support, this initiative strives to promote menstrual equity and empower individuals to manage their periods with dignity.
Since its inception, HerFlow has distributed millions of menstrual products to Jamaican public schools, government facilities, community organizations, clinics, prisons, and individuals in need. Beyond product donations, HerFlow has conducted hundreds of workshops and educational sessions across the country, fostering awareness, breaking stigmas, and empowering communities with vital knowledge on menstrual and reproductive health.

Our History
No matter how little you have, there is always something to share
Inspired by her great-grandmother’s timeless wisdom — “No matter how little you have, there is always something to share” — HerFlow Founder Shelly-Ann Weeks envisions a Jamaica where free menstrual products are accessible to all who need them, and reproductive health education is a core part of social support services.
Since its launch in 2016, the HerFlow Foundation has been a driving force in the fight against period poverty. The organization has distributed millions of free menstrual products and created safe, inclusive spaces for educating students about managing their periods with dignity — ensuring that boys are also part of the conversation.
Through impactful initiatives like End Period Poverty JA, Celebrate Her, the LIVE SAFE College Tour, Leaders Who Bleed, Period Awareness Day, and more, HerFlow has reached public schools, government facilities, shelters, prisons, community groups, and vulnerable individuals across Jamaica — delivering education, empowerment, and access.
