Her Dignity Matters. Always.

At Red Umbrella Project, we stand with homeless teen girls in Boston—providing menstrual supplies, emotional support, and a safe community where dignity is restored and confidence is rebuilt.

About Us

Empowering Homeless Teen Girls with Dignity and Care

At Red Umbrella Project, we believe dignity is a basic human right—not a luxury. For homeless teen girls in Boston, managing their periods without access to proper care can be isolating and traumatizing.

We’re here to change that. Through the distribution of free menstrual hygiene kits, emotional wellness resources, and compassionate community outreach, we create pathways of hope and healing.

But we’re not just providing products—we’re offering connection, restoring menstrual dignity, and giving every girl the message she desperately needs to hear: You are not forgotten. You are worthy.

Why We Exist

Our Purpose, Her Dignity

For many homeless teen girls, managing their period is a painful, hidden crisis. Without access to pads, tampons, clean underwear, or a safe place to care for themselves, they face shame, missed opportunities, and long-term health issues.

At Red Umbrella Project, we’re stepping in with compassion and action. We deliver dignity-packed kits that include menstrual care items, toiletries, warm essentials, and empowering notes. But more than that, we’re showing up for girls who often feel invisible— letting them know:

"You matter. Your health matters. Your dignity matters."

Every kit is a reminder that someone cares. And that small act of care can change a life.
