About Us
vi•ra•go (noun) : a woman who demonstrates exemplary and heroic qualities.
The Virago Initiative is a student-led, nonprofit project that strives to support the women in our community and to fight for menstrual equity. The average woman spends up to $14.00 a month on menstrual products. Many women who are low-income and/or homeless are often unable to afford these high costs and lack access to necessary products, especially during these difficult times. Our mission is to help provide local shelters and organizations with feminine hygiene products and donations. Please donate to help our cause!
