Kwe’k (pronounced “queck”) means ‘women’ in the Potawatomi language. We are The Women’s Society.
The Kwek Society provides to Indigenous students and their peers, as well as to several Indigenous communities needing these expensive menstrual supplies, pads, tampons, liners, menstrual cups, underwear, educational materials, and our moon time and Auntie bags filled with pads.
No student should miss school or avoid playing sports because they are on their moon time and don’t have period supplies. No one should miss work or miss out on daily life because they are on their moon time and don’t have period supplies.
We are guided by the needs of the individual communities we support, acting on our belief that menstruators should be able to use the period products with which they are comfortable.
We appreciate the love and care you show through your donations, your time, and the supplies you send. Thank you for helping eliminate period poverty in Indigenous communities.
