What we do

Don’t let girls pay the price for their periods

Many girls miss school every month because they have no safe menstrual products. With one cup a girl can go to school for ten years, without shame or worry.

A period is no reason to stay home

Without safe products, a period costs a girl several school days every month. Those days add up to weeks in a year, and eventually to a reason to stop going altogether.

A menstrual cup takes that reason away for up to ten years. The lesson that comes with it does the rest: girls learn how their body works, and parents and boys learn why the subject deserves to be discussed out loud.

Our ambassadors

  • Portrait of Wout Weghorst
    Sport has always been very important to me as a child. I went to Tanzania a few years ago and saw that it is not self-evident for every child to play sports. Sport inspires, motivates, fraternizes and brings out the best in yourself. I am proud that I can contribute to the mission of Join for Joy.

    I’m convinced of Join for Joy’s impact. They think long-term, work closely with locals, and use every euro to make a real difference for children and teachers through sports and play. They bring back joy while addressing vital and urgent life lessons. I’m glad organizations like Join for Joy are out there.

    My personal experiences as a Paralympic athlete have shown me that sports are a powerful way to connect, build confidence, and discover talents. Join for Joy’s playful learning program perfectly aligns with this, and I hope that as an ambassador, I can contribute and raise awareness for the valuable work Join for Joy does in East Africa.
