1. What is the problem that you are committed to solving? 

Helping girls in areas that don't prioritize women's health through the creation of a cheap, reusable, sustainable period product.

2. What is the solution you are proposing?

Trying to mimic the creation and ability of clouds to cycle precipitation to create a product with similar absorbent capabilities.

3. How could your solution positively change the lives of millions if it was scaled globally?

Periods, and the required products needed, stand in the way of many girls in their educational and personal pursuits, in both the developed and underdeveloped world. Creating a useful and attainable period product would help alleviate worries and try to pave the road to a life that doesn't put girls at a disadvantage because of a normal, human, and healthyThi bodily function. 

Periods are a normal bodily process that every girl has. That's around 50% of the world's population. And, many of today's girls still have to deal with taboo surrounding periods, as well as the inability to access proper products, due to factors such as cost and availability. Majority of today's products are one time use and are wrapped in plastic and cost a lot of money when the monthly costs are tabulated. There are reusable options(the menstrual cup), but theres a whole lot of taboo around that, in many parts of the world. Creating a reusable, sustainable, cloud like product may solve both of these problems. 

Girls who have periods and have no way to deal with this completely normal bodily function and are letting their educations and personal endeavors take a back seat, when periods should not even be a problem, they shouldn't cause any girl a disadvantage in the 21st century.

Mimicking the creation and ability of clouds to cycle precipitation to create a product with similar absorbent capabilities and try to create a sustainable, reusable period product.
