I’m Nadya, an 18-year-old from Portland, Oregon, and the Founder and Executive Director of Camions of Care. I will be entering Harvard College this Fall as a freshman as a 2016 Coca-Cola, Gates Millennium, PEO Star, and ELKS Most Valuable Student Scholar. I am a writer for the Huffington Post (Voices Blog) and an editor at School of Doodle, an online feminist media publication that promotes passion to profession for teen girls. Camions of Care is a youth-run global nonprofit that strives to manage and celebrate menstrual hygiene through advocacy, youth leadership, and service—through the global distribution of feminine hygiene products, and the engagement of youth leadership through a nationwide network of campus chapters. I founded the organization two years ago after my family experienced homelessness and I became introduced to the need. In the last two years, our network of over 2,200 volunteers has addressed over 24,000 periods through over 40 nonprofit partners in 17 different states and 9 different countries. We continue to expand our chapter network from over 34 established at universities and high schools around the US. In April 2014, I gave a TEDxPortland talk about how menstrual hygiene is the key to our global development.
