Chupis Values

Sustainability

Environmental Sustainability: We are committed to environmental sustainability by manufacturing reusable period underwear, reducing waste, and promoting eco-friendly practices.
Sustainable Communities: Our sewing cooperatives not only provide economic opportunities for women but also contribute to the long-term sustainability and development of communities.

Community

Community Engagement: We strongly value community involvement. Our trainers work closely with communities to deliver crucial education on menstrual health and puberty, fostering a sense of unity and support.

Cooperatives as Community Hubs: Our sewing cooperatives serve as more than just economic entities; they are community hubs that encourage collaboration, skill-sharing, and collective growth.

Cross-Cultural Connection: We recognize the richness of Indigenous cultures in Australia and the diverse cultures across East Africa. We celebrate this diversity by engaging with community leaders and elders to understand and respect their specific needs and traditions.

Creativity

Artistic Expression: Collaborating with women artistic designers allows us to infuse creativity into our period underwear, making them not just functional but also a form of self-expression and art.

Impact

Tangible Impact: We measure our success by the tangible impact we make in the lives of vulnerable teenage girls. From providing them with quality period underwear to delivering essential education, we strive for measurable, positive change.
Systemic Change: Our focus goes beyond individual impact; we work to bring about systemic change by challenging taboos, stigmas, and inequalities surrounding menstruation and gender.

Femininity

Celebrate Femininity: We embrace and celebrate the uniqueness of femininity. Our period underwear designs, created by women artists, reflect the beauty and strength of being a woman.

Cultural Connection

Cultural Connection: Celebrating the skills of local artists and sewers and incorporating cultural elements into the period underwear designs can strengthen cultural identity and heritage. This recognition of cultural diversity enhances community pride and unity.

Empowerment

Empowerment– Addressing barriers to education, creating income generating programs and job training,  establishing and supporting women led business and cooperatives to provide economic opportunities and financial independence to women.
