What Makes Us Different?

Isn't it exciting that there are many who are out there working toward supplying women and girls with hygiene packets?  Great organizations and  successful  distributions are moving forward every day. We are excited about the progress that is being made and heartily encourage this growth. But at the same time, we want to acknowledge that It's Our Mission: Period! (IOMP) is much more than just the provision of hygiene supplies -- it is an equipping and empowering program that goes much further. 

Some groups focus on reaching the masses and there is such a great need.  IOMP certainly endeavors to reach and supply all that we can -- but for us, it's more than 'reaching the masses' -- it's bringing a message to women.  While providing hygiene packets is the first step,  we believe it must be followed by another step, that of bringing hope and empowerment.  After the initial distribution of packets, the follow-up visit brings opportunity of vocational training and empowerment which is a crucial step in the concept and that’s where we’re different.  


We provide the Tool Kit, its template and pattern to schools who in turn, train their students to produce product for their classmates and eventually for the open market.  The message we bring of breaking the lie that women are cursed, coupled with the equipping and empowering that comes with vocational training leads to the end result: 
                           What once held women captive, is now the very thing that sets them free.

You can help us maintain the integrity of this vision by adhering to the following directives: 

  • Due to copyright laws, The Tool Kit, the template and pattern, may not be copied or reproduced.
  • Commercialization, marketing or sales of the Tool Kit product is not permitted.
  • Ministries and individuals who distribute the product or implement the plan are                                                                operating as ambassadors of IOMP and cannot assume this project as their own.

         Thank you for choosing to help support this important work helping to free women around the world.
