Empowering Young African Girls: One Reusable Pad at a Time
Breaking the Cycle of Period Poverty
Every day, millions of young African girls
face an invisible barrier to education, sports, and social participation – inadequate access to menstrual hygiene products. In West Africa alone, an estimated 65% of girls from low-income families miss up to 5 days of school each month due to period poverty.
