South University Partners with Women in Training
Women In Training is preparing for an impactful event at the university's campus to pack and distribute essential hygiene product kits for local women in need. This initiative is part of a broader commitment to address period poverty in the community.
Event Details and Community Engagement
Recently, South University partnered with Women In Training to support their mission. In a prior event, a significant number of feminine hygiene products were packed and distributed to those in need.
Understanding Period Poverty
Period poverty refers to the lack of access to menstrual products and hygiene education, which can hinder the educational and professional development of women. Women In Training aims to tackle these barriers to ensure young women have the resources they need to succeed.
Support from South University
South University is deeply committed to community involvement. According to Kenneth Macon, Director and Dean of Academic Affairs & Operations at the Montgomery campus, the values of Women In Training resonate with the university's mission to engage and support the community. This partnership highlights a shared dedication to assist young women facing challenges in their lives.
Upcoming Packing Event
This Saturday, students from the nursing and physical therapy assistant programs at South University will volunteer to help assemble kits filled with essential hygiene products. These kits will feature items like body wash, shampoo, dental care products, menstrual supplies, and other necessities.
Access to Kits and Community Participation
The event is open to community members interested in receiving these hygiene kits. Free parking will be available near the campus entrance, making it easy for individuals to participate in this important initiative.
