The Problem

Women in Kenya: Kenya has about 25million women, out of this 14.5m are of the reproductive age (15-54). Out of the data set 65% of the women cannot afford access safe menstrual products. This translates to approximately 9.4 million women.

Market Opportunity

Over 65% of women in Kenya face significant challenges in obtaining essential menstrual hygiene products, creating a substantial untapped market for affordable and accessible solutions.

Education Opportunity

Approximately one million school-age girls in Kenya miss an average of four school days each month due to their menstrual cycle and lack of access to proper hygiene products. By addressing this issue, we can significantly educational outcomes and empower young girls to reach their full potential.

Existing Gap

A staggering 42% of Kenyan schoolgirls have never had access to sanitary pads and resort to using inadequate alternatives like rags, blankets, mattress scraps, tissue paper, and cotton wool. There is a pressing need for affordable and appropriate menstrual products that can bridge this gap and provide sustainable solutions.
