For the Merfolk.

Hello Everyone!

My name is Alex Hernández, and I am the Founder of Sirena’s Grotto!

Sirena's Grotto was born from a visionary aspiration to address the issue of Menstrual Inequity within my immediate surroundings. Witnessing the profound need for hygiene items among those in my community

Astonishingly, the World Health Organization estimates that approximately 500 million menstruators worldwide lack the means to afford these indispensable items. Recognizing the gravity of this situation, Sirena's Grotto strives to alleviate the burdens of hygiene inequity.

Now, you may wonder, why a mermaid? Mermaids symbolize empowerment, beauty, and confidence, fearlessly embracing challenges with a radiant smile. Our emblematic figure, Sirena, embodies the grace that can be found even amidst life's storms, serving as a beacon of hope and resilience.

We hope that when merfolk in need come to Sirena’s Grotto, they find exactly what they need.

Whether this is hygiene, community, love, or prayer: Sirena’s Grotto has your back.
