Rise Global Winner 2021

Oliver is passionate about inspiring, motivating and empowering women. She is focused on alleviating period poverty in rural areas, starting in her home country of Tanzania. Having seen people struggle academically and even drop out of school because of the inaccessibility of feminine hygiene products, she took it upon herself to solve the issue. For her Rise project, Oliver secured funding to install a pad vending machine at her school. In the future, Oliver plans to continue promoting women’s welfare by becoming a gynecologist.
