SM Store proudly shared the successful conclusion of its Shop & Share for Women campaign, a meaningful initiative, launched in celebration of International Women's Month.

The campaign aimed to empower young girls to comfortably navigate their journey to womanhood and manage their menstrual health.

This advocacy program garnered overwhelming support from loyal shoppers, generating the donation of 5,000 menstrual hygiene kits to various nongovernmental organization (NGO) partners nationwide.

On March 12, 2024, 500 kits were distributed to the Girl Scouts of the Philippines (GSP) national headquarters in Ermita, Manila. An additional 500 kits were sent to an SM Foundation Inc. partner school: Tungkong Mangga Elementary School in San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan.

The succeeding turnover was conducted last March 14, where youth from GSP Visayas in Cebu City and Jugan Elementary School in Consolacion, Cebu received 1,000 curated hygiene kits.

The final distribution happened last March 21 with 1,500 kits delivered to GSP Eastern Mindanao in Toril, Davao City and another 500 kits to Talikala Davao, a United Nations Women partner NGO in Mindanao.

As International Women's Month came to a close, SM Store encouraged everyone to continue supporting initiatives that empowered women. From SM Store, Happy International Women's Month to amazing Filipinas!
