founded by teenaged twins, WITS provides hygiene kits to women and girls

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
One in five American girls and young women skip school or miss work because they cannot afford sanitary pads or tampons to stay healthy and clean during their period. Women in Training (WIT), Inc. aims to #EndPeriodPoverty.

Impoverished girls, women and non-binary youth often use socks, toilet paper, paper towels and washcloths to stay healthy and clean during menstruation. Even worse, they use the same tampon or sanitary pad repeatedly, which can lead to toxic shock syndrome and bacterial infections.

To alleviate period poverty, Women in Training, Inc. provides monthly donations of #WITKITS® -- canvas bags full of menstrual and hygiene products -- to at-risk girls, young women and non-binary youth.

Funds Raised will Start the WIT Youth Leadership Development Institute

Women In Training Joins Mutual Aid Montgomery Event to Give Away Hygiene and School Supplies

Women In Training, Inc. (WIT) distributed 100 WITKITS® of menstrual, hygiene and dental products to underserved families at a distribution event organized by Mutual Aid Montgomery on Saturday, November 14, 2020, at The King's Canvas, 1413 Oak Street in Montgomery, Alabama.

Mutual Aid Montgomery is a voluntary reciprocal exchange of resources and services that allows community members to care for one another. It was first established in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in early March 2020. The informal network enables community members to volunteer services like transportation, grocery pick-up and delivery, childcare, and other services to those in need.

"Mutual aid is the practice of community members helping other community members, and we believe that everyone has something to offer to this community, and everyone has something they need," said Katie Wu, an organizer for Mutual Aid Montgomery who helped pack the WITKITS®. "We are thrilled for our first-ever distribution event and are excited to be doing this alongside Women In Training, who will be distributing menstrual and hygiene products along with our other free products to members of the community."

WIT's signature program is the WITKITS® Campaign to provide menstrual products and hygiene items to young, low-income people who menstruate.

"We, too, are excited about partnering with Mutual Aid Montgomery to distribute 100 WITKITS®, especially to girls who need them," said Dr. LaToya Clark, M.D., the president and chairwoman of Women In Training, Inc. "One in 5 people who menstruate stay home from jobs, miss school or lose out on other opportunities because they don't have the products they need, and that number has increased since the COVID-19 pandemic has taken away even more of their family income. This distribution event will help us in our efforts to eradicate period poverty."

WITKITS® include menstrual pads, soap, shampoo and conditioner, lotion, deodorant, socks, a journal and a hand-made bracelet with a positive message. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, WITKITS® have also included personal protective equipment, such as masks, gloves and bottles of WIT hand sanitizer.

Since its founding in July 2019, WIT has distributed more than 1,000 WITKITS® to teenagers at Tears Runaway Shelter for Girls in Tuskegee, Alabama; to homeless women at the Salvation Army Montgomery; to girls in need at Brantwood Children's Hom; That's My Chil; Beginnings Educational Center Common Ground Montgomer and to women at Inmate Mothers. WIT has also inspired state Rep. Rolanda Hollis to introduce a bil that would require schools across Alabama to provide free menstrual products for menstruating youth.

WIT Hosts Health Education Program at TEARS Shelter

"I was honored to make this, 'How to Prevent STDs' presentation to the young ladies," said Dr. LaToya Clark, Women in Training, Inc. President and Board Chairwoman. "They listened attentively and asked pertinent questions."

On Friday, November 6, 2020, Dr. Clark, supported by Dr. Stephanie McCorvey, WIT Board Member, and Ms. Dorothea Ligon-Hawley, WIT volunteer, visited the Bridges TEARS Shelter for Runaway Girls in Tuskegee to conduct a health education program. Breanna and Brooke Bennett, the WIT co-founders, had a conflicting school obligation, but they sent gifts for the young women.

"Someone requested that we return monthly," Dr. Clark said. "We certainly will continue making monthly donations to the young ladies of menstrual, hygiene, and COVID-19 PPE supplies."

THIS is why Women In Training exists!

Dr. Stephanie McCorvey, WIT Board Member, delivered monthly replenishments of sanitary pads, toiletries and COVID-19 personal protective equipment to the residents of the TEARS Shelter for Runaway Girls in Tuskegee.

Thanks to the generosity of our friends and supporters, Breanna and Brooke Bennett, the Women in Training, Inc. co-founders, realized their vision of combining their love for running with their passion for raising funds to end period poverty!

Thanks to the support of Leadership Montgomery's Torchbearers Class XII, WIT surpassed our goal of $5,000 by raising $6,683.31 to begin the WIT Youth Leadership Circle in January 2021. We will groom young people to develop the leadership skills necessary to end poverty! Period!

WIT KITS® Campaign is the signature program of Women in Training, Inc.

Ssshhh... The "P" word is the best-kept medical secret! Even though half of the population have a period for most of their lives, no one talks openly about it.

Women in Training, Inc. provides monthly donations of #WITKITS® -- canvas bags full of menstrual and hygiene products -- to organizations that work with underserved girls, young women, and non-binary youth.

​ WIT aims to end the stigma and silence about the monthly menses by facilitating 30-minute menstrual education presentations to community groups, religious organizations and schools.

Thank you to our corporate and community partners who provide financial and/or in-kind support to help Women in Training (W.I.T.), Inc. provide services.
