POWER OF PADS

We support girls and women in poor areas of Kenya by providing reusable period pads and start up funding for pad making businesses. Our aim is to make a positive impact on girl's and women's health, education, gender inequality and also to support local businesses and communities.

Analysis by Giving is Great
