In Spring 2021, a group of Arizona State University students–Alex, Claire, Jesus, Sao, and Xochitl–began a class called "Coding for Social Good". This course allowed the team to create an idea for a mobile app that addressed an aspect of poverty in Arizona. After learning more about poverty in Arizona, through a combination of research and interviews, the team decided to address a problem in Arizona that they had never heard of: period poverty. 

​

After months of research, constant iteration, and a competitive pitch competition with our classmates, our team was selected by a committee of judges to continue developing our app over the summer with funding from Apple. Over this summer of 2021, periaid as an idea, as an organization, and as a mobile app has continued to grow.

 

We invite you to help us bring periaid to its full potential–by downloading our app, sharing it with others, and using it to help menstruators in need.
