Two Montgomery teens received national recognition for the work they do to end period poverty here in Alabama.
16-year-old twins Brooke and Breanna Bennett have touched countless lives and made a big impact through their nonprofit, Women in Training, Inc., which they started at just 12 years old.
“You’re never too young to start making a change. If you don’t do it, who will? Have people around you that support you, your parents, your friends. I believe that you can change whatever’s going on in your community, or any problem that you see,” said Brooke. Women In Training, also known as WIT, helps to end period poverty and develop girls into culturally aware global leaders. And the reach continues to grow beyond the capital city.
“It started out as just giving to one organization, and the fact that now, not only do we give out to many organizations in Montgomery, we give out period products and our WIT kits to organizations across Alabama and also across all of the U.S.,” said Breanna. “Just seeing how far we’ve come with Women in Training, it really does encourage me and make me think we can go global. And we can do that pretty soon.”.
“I think it is so uplifting to see girls our age doing amazing things. And that uplifts me, and that makes me believe that I can do anything,” said Brooke.“She made a statement saying that, you know, we are the future but we’re also the right now,” said Breanna. “We’re not in the waiting and that, you know, to make the world a better place, we shouldn’t wait, we should start now.”that makes menstrual products more available in schools in Alabama. They are now working with U.S. Rep.
