Description
UhuruPads is a social enterprise that engages women in small groups to manufacture and distribute high-quality, affordable, and eco-friendly sanitary pads. These efforts help keep girls in school and create jobs and opportunity for local women. We were founded because of the shared passion of many people who care about the empowerment and education of girls and women. A compelling issue is that many girls miss school due to challenges related to menstruation. The need for a sustainable, affordable pad - developed in India - forms the backbone of our effort. Our pads are made using 100% biodegradable components and they provide employment for the women who make them. Also important is our program to provide them to girls attending school - along with a strong educational program - through support from donors and others. Since the ultimate goal is to create independence – for the girls, first and foremost, as well as the women who use, make, and distribute them – the word UHURU (Swahili for "freedom") was chosen for the name of the product!
