how one pad does three things

The three-fold approach

sell
01

Produce & sell

We make high-quality reusable pads and sell them to everyone — lower-, middle- and upper-income households included. The pads last 1–3 years, with a lipa pole pole (pay-in-instalments) option. Sales fund production and overheads, so the work sustains itself.

give
02

Donate one-third

One-third of our production is donated to girls from disadvantaged backgrounds — homes where buying pads simply isn’t possible.

employ
03

Create livelihoods

Our pads are made by teenage mothers who dropped out of school. With fair wages and financial-literacy skills, they’re economically empowered — and can return to complete their primary or secondary school education when ready.

where we are now

Small today, scaling deliberately.

Production is still modest — around 75–100 pads a day, made by hand. KEBS certification has given us the confidence and credibility to grow, and we are now putting structures in place to scale up production.

Our goal is to sell in bulk so we can buy materials in bulk and bring costs down — then train more girls and replicate the model in other parts of the county and country. We’re actively seeking partners to help us get there.
