​USBC Bingo Blast events raise funds for our "Helping Women. Period." Iniatitive.

​

The "Helping Women. Period." Iniatitive is focused on providing essential hygiene products, specifically Kotex and other feminine hygiene items, to women and girls in Rosarito Beach, Mexico. The initiative raises funds through monthly Bingo games, creating a fun and engaging way for the community to contribute to a vital cause. The hygiene products purchased with these funds are donated to a local food bank, which then distributes them to those in need.

​

Importance of the Initiative

​

1. Health and Hygiene: Access to feminine hygiene products is crucial for maintaining the health and well-being of women and girls. Lack of these products can lead to infections and other health issues, particularly in areas with limited access to healthcare.

​

2. Dignity and Confidence: Menstrual hygiene management is essential for the dignity and confidence of women and girls. Without proper products, many are forced to use unsafe and uncomfortable alternatives, which can negatively impact their self-esteem and daily activities.

​

3. Education and Productivity: Girls who do not have access to hygiene products are more likely to miss school during their menstrual periods. This can lead to gaps in their education and hinder their long-term opportunities. By providing these products, the initiative helps ensure that girls can attend school consistently and participate fully in their education.

​

4. Economic Impact: Women who lack access to menstrual products may miss work, which can affect their economic stability and the well-being of their families. Ensuring access to these products helps women maintain their productivity and financial independence.

​

5. Community Support: The initiative fosters a sense of community and solidarity. Through these monthly Bingo games, USBC members and non-members come together to support a common cause, creating stronger community bonds and raising awareness about an often-overlooked issue.

​

The "Helping Women. Period." Iniatitive is an essential effort in promoting health, dignity, and equal opportunities for women and girls in Rosarito Beach, Mexico making a tangible difference in their lives.
