The Mbasafo Project

Reusable sanitary pads and menstrual health education, so girls and women can stay in school and at work with dignity.

The Mbasafo Project supports girls and women with reusable sanitary pads and menstrual health education.

Through school sessions, donations and community outreach in markets, the project helps girls stay in school during their periods, breaks the silence around menstruation, and reduces the waste that comes from disposable pads.
