LET ME REFRESH YOUR MEMORY A BIT


 At the beginning of the month, I told you of our idea – that we would collect cups for Ukraine with your help, remember?

We connected with NGO Zero waste Lviv, who were kind enough to organize donations of cups for Ukrainian women.
 
 
Thanks to all of you guys we managed to collect 35 Lalicups of different sizes (S, M and L). Some of them in complete packaging and some of them without boxes; what we refer to as the “eco pack”.
 

HOW WILL WE EVEN SEND THE PACKAGE THERE?


  That was our biggest question as most of the curriers stopped their Ukrainian postal routes.

So in the end, Liliya (one of the girls we talked to) told us that the best option would be to ship to Poland and from there on they would either ship to Ukraine or send someone from the ZWL team to collect the package.
 

Since we do not know anybody living in Warsaw Liliya gave us the address of Break and Lunch Cafe where her friend Mariya works and is there most of the time during the day.

And that is exactly what we did – sent the parcel via Post of Slovenia to Lunch Café in Warsaw, Poland.

IS THIS WHERE THE STORY ENDS?


  No, of course not. The cups still have the last leg of the journey to travel, so we will most definitely update you once they reach their final destination (most likely with a photo on our Instagram account).
 

THANK YOU!


  At this point, the entire Lali team would like to thank each and every one of you who ordered Lalicup in November, as it really did make a difference for some of the internally displaced Ukrainian women.

Thank you!

By purchasing Lali products, you help with the donation


November is my birthday month, so we decided to do a mini-campaign where at the end of the month we will donate some cups to charity.
 

You play a vital part


Yes, yo do indees! But how – I hear you ask. Well, we will collect a few percentages from each purchase in the month of November, which will be crucial in the final number of cups that we will give away.
 

Where will the cups travel to?


 We connected with a Ukrainian NGO called Zero Waste Lviv.

They are currently collecting reusable menstrual products to be distributed to internally displaced women and volunteers in war zones.

In this way, they will show them their support and at the same time reduce plastic pollution from disposable pads and tampons.
 

Every purchase counts


 Of course, we will inform you at the end of the month about how many menstrual cups we managed to collect with your help and about all the other details.

I am certain that even – in normal times – a simple thing like the cup “voyage” will be quite an interesting ordeal. Why? It is because currently, for obvious reasons, no courier service delivers packages to Ukraine. But our Lali team will not give up that easily!
 

Do you also have old winter clothes accumulating at home?


 Anastasia and Liliya – the girls we spoke with also mentioned that many organizations are currently collecting warmer clothes, sleeping bags, blankets… which will come in handy in the coming cold months.

You probably have an old winter jacket in your closet that has been collecting dust for a while, because you’re still hoping that it will come back into fashion – am I right?

If you’re ready to say goodbye to it for good (RIP, you will be missed), here’s a great opportunity, and it’s going to charity so a win-win in my books. 🙂
