Pad-Up Creations LTD
Organization Details
We produce Nigeria's first certified washable and reusable sanitary pads as sustainable solutions for girls and women in Africa.
We also train girls and women on reproductive health and hygiene.
We recently innovated a sanitary pad vending machine that we are commercialising.
Impact Story
We understand that due to the increasing poverty rate in Africa, several families cannot provide their girls access to sanitary pads. The girls improvise using dry grasses, leaves, feathers, rags or foams to care for their period, exposing themselves to infections.
Some of the girls miss or drop out of school due to the bullying.
We have been able to distribute over 8.9 million reusable sanitary pads across 19 African countries. We have also created 541 permanent jobs for youth and women, 73% women.
We have also trained over 538,000 girls and women on reproductive health and hygiene.
Diverse Social Enterprise
The TRANSFORM Support Hub is committed to accelerating diverse owned and led enterprises to build more equitable and resilient supply chains.
