Working together to support our communities
At Endo Warriors Aotearoa, we believe period equity is a community effort.

These relationships help essential period products reach people who need them, with dignity and without financial barriers.

Visit websiteFeedback from the community
“The period items have been incredible! We've started to unofficially call it "the free shop". Being able to offer the supplies to women in need has been very valuable! Some of the women have followed up with us and said that receiving the freebies was the highlight of what was otherwise a difficult time. It makes a huge difference to be able to offer the supplies, thank you again for your generosity.”
