Eco Femme
Organization Details
Rising from rural India and reaching out to the world, Eco Femme is a women-led social enterprise that produces and sells organic washable cloth pads and nappy products. Founded in 2010, our work is centred around revitalising menstrual practices that are healthy, affordable, dignified, and environmentally sustainable.
Impact Story
We aim to ensure that cost is not an obstacle for anyone who would like to use cloth pads.
Our community outreach programs provide women and girls with impactful menstrual health education that encourages body literacy along with free or affordable access to cloth pads. These not-for-profit programmes are financed by donations and by redistributing profits from our commercial activities.
Pad for Pad
Under this program, reusable cloth pad kits are distributed to school-girls, aged 10-19, who come from economicallydisadvantaged backgrounds. Gifting of pads is embedded within a larger 3 hour, standardised educational programme. To date, we have reached over 100,000 girls through this program.
Pads for Sisters
The program aims to offer cloth pads at discounted prices to economically disadvantaged women
(over 19 years old) who would not otherwise be able to afford or access the pads at commercial
pricing. Last year, we distributed over 50,000 pads through this program.
Diverse Social Enterprise
The TRANSFORM Support Hub is committed to accelerating diverse owned and led enterprises to build more equitable and resilient supply chains.
