"IT WAS a great big mix of ethnicities, nationalities, and languages in the room. But we had one thing in common. Each of us bled once a month," Vanessa Paranjothy says, recounting one of Freedom Cups' beneficiary outreach sessions.

Founded in 2016, Freedom Cups manufactures and sells eco-friendly period products, focusing mainly on menstrual cups.
