Kandi Tokyo chapter leadership

Kandi Tokyo

Led by Tajima Ryuya

I want to start a Kandi Initiative chapter in Japan to raise awareness among local Japanese students about perspectives beyond the usual U.S.-focused view on social issues.

Kandi Singapore chapter leadership

Kandi Singapore

Led by Song Siyu

I want to start a Kandi Initiative chapter in Singapore because period poverty is an existing and significant issue, even in a country often perceived as affluent. Menstrual products are necessities, not luxuries.

Kandi Yangon chapter leadership

Kandi Yangon

Led by Hsu Yamone Minn

I want to start a Kandi Initiative chapter in my area because I believe many students and young people need a supportive community where they can feel heard, inspired, and encouraged to grow.

Kandi Gaborone chapter leadership

Kandi Gaborone

Led by Loago Thuto Malete

I have seen how many women and girls still lack access to basic health education, resources and support, especially in vulnerable communities. I want to create a safe space where girls can learn, access support, and feel empowered rather than left behind.
