Afri-Pads is a unique initiative that fuses the market-based approach of business with the social consciousness of an NGO in order to produce a sustainable product that satisfies the major challenges of menstruation as experienced by schoolgirls in rural Africa.
... that according to the United Nations Children’s Fund, 1 in 10 school-age African girls either skips school during menstruation or drops out entirely because of lack of sanitation.
... is to produce and distribute low-cost, washable menstrual pads to schoolgirls in rural Uganda. By providing girls with an affordable sanitary product, we aim to empower girls with the confidence to stay in school during their monthly period.
