What problem would you like to solve?

Health and well-being, women not having access to pads

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

It is important to solve this because pads for women are so expensive nowadays. It is relevant because maybe some women do not have $8 to buy a pack of pads just for them to have leakage and not very good materials.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

A program or an incentive for stores to give out free pads to women where they can be easily accessed.

Who would that help?

Women, Teen girls, & Females

What neighborhood would benefit from your idea?

Bushwick
