Impact
What the numbers actually mean
17.9 million kits across 21 countries is the headline. Underneath it are 541 jobs, 22,000 women earning, and 878,000 girls and women who now understand their own bodies.
Six numbers worth reading twice
541
jobs created
Job creation
Through our operations we have created 541 jobs, contributing to local economic growth and providing employment in our community.
22,000+
women earning as agents
Empowering women sales agents
Over 22,000 women have been empowered as sales agents, earning an income while distributing our products. It benefits them economically and gives them independence and agency.
878,000+
girls and women trained on-site
Reproductive health awareness
We have trained over 878,000 girls and women on-site in reproductive health and hygiene, helping them understand their reproductive health and their rights.
17.9M+
kits distributed
Significant distribution
Over 17.9 million kits distributed, reaching a large number of women and girls and ensuring they have access to hygienic, comfortable menstrual products.
21
African countries
Reaching more African girls
Over 3 million kits distributed across 21 African countries. The same solution, making periods less painful for girls and women across the continent.
154M+
units of sanitary waste avoided
Environmental impact
Over 154 million units of sanitary waste reduced. By cutting single-use plastic waste we reduce the environmental cost that comes with disposable pads.
154 million
units of sanitary waste avoided, because a pad that lasts a year is not a pad thrown away every few hours.
And the parts that do not reduce to a number
Keeping more girls in school
By ensuring girls have access to menstrual products, we help them stay in school throughout their menstrual days, preventing absenteeism and letting them continue their education without interruption.
A sustainable alternative
Washable, reusable sanitary pads reduce reliance on single-use plastics and cut waste generation at the source.
Sustainable development
Our work aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly gender equality, good health and well-being, clean water and sanitation, and responsible consumption and production.
Aligned to four UN goals
Not a claim we make loosely. Each one maps to something the business actually does.

Responsible consumption and production
How it actually works
The reach
17.9 million
Pads in the hands of girls who would otherwise miss a week of school every month.
The factory
Made here, not imported
Cut, sewn and sealed in Nigeria. Not imported, not repackaged.
The makers
Work that pays
A production floor staffed by women and young people from this community.
The classroom
Taught, not just sold
Menstrual health training goes into schools alongside the product.
The network
21 countries
Carried by agents and distributors who build their own income from it.
The point
One pad. One year.
Reusable for at least twelve months. Dignity that does not run out mid-month.
