With everything we do, we’re on a mission to celebrate people who impact the world in positive ways through their service, strength, kindness, tenacity and love. These people are BEACONS of goodness, light, inspiration, and understanding.

Selected nominees will receive a specially curated collection of Her Best Foot Forward products—intended to both celebrate AND remind your BEACON of the light they bring to all of us.

Nominate a BEACON who inspires you—someone selfless, strong, passionate, and brave. Whoever the person, whatever the story, we want to hear it!

We hope we'll receive a lot of nominations (YAY!) so every month we honor a number of nominees with a fabulously curated gift package and feature them on our website and social channels.

Using proceeds from the sale of our products and support from generous donors, in 2017 through our non-profit Foot Forward Fund we launched a new social enterprise - UhuruPads - Tanzania's first 100% compostable and biodegradable sanitary pads! Today, UhuruPads employs 13 women who make enough pads to allow us to donate an annual supply to nearly 10,000 girls, keeping them in school with confidence and dignity.

Aligning with our mission to facilitate girls' education, this new enterprise runs on technology developed by Aakar Innovations of India. Each student receiving our product also receives undergarments and health and hygiene information  not presently available. Our goal is to ensure that understanding that menstruation is healthy and natural part  and make available safe, sustainable products without environmental degradation.
