The gift of dignity

For every 7,50 Euro you donate to us, the AFRIpads Foundation donates an AFRIpads School Girl Kit, which includes 5 reusable sanitary pads, and a pair of underwear to each girl it supports. 

Most importantly, these products are accompanied with education about the use of AFRIpads, menstrual hygiene and sexual and reproductive health. This way, we help girls have an informed and dignified period.

Your donation includes: 

  • 1 Schoolgirl Kit, which includes 5 reusable sanitary pads.
  • 1 pair of AFRIpads Underwear.
  • Our educational comic book ‘Girl Talk!’  which explains what happens during menstruation to girls in an accessible and engaging manner.
  • Training on the use and care of the AFRIpads Schoolgirl Kit.
  • Access to the full MHH Education Curriculum and Data Collection Toolkit. These tools provide partners with comprehensive content on menstrual health including the reproductive system, the menstrual cycle and how to track it as well as tips on how to be happy and healthy during your period.

Behind the scenes

We would like to take you on a journey to Uganda to highlight two outreaches the AFRIpads Foundation did in collaboration with the AFRIpads team on ground. The best way to tell our story is through the experiences of the girls receiving your donation.

Karamoja: Institute for International Cooperation and Development. 2021 

In April 2021, the AFRIpads Foundation, in partnership with the Institute for International Cooperation and Development (C&D) oversaw a donation in the Karamoja region, North Eastern Uganda. 625 girls from 12 schools were supported with AFRIpads School Girl Kit, AFRIpads underwear and a Girl Talk Booklet and soap. Alongside the donation of products, the AFRIpads team facilitated training to the school girls. This training covered how to properly use and care for AFRIpads as well as more broadly teaching the girls about their menstrual cycle, reproductive system, and how to stay happy and healthy during their periods.

Agago District: North Uganda Outreach Project. 2022

In April 2022, the AFRIpads Foundation in partnership with the North Uganda Outreach Project oversaw a donation in Agago District, Northern Uganda. 1000 girls in 5 schools were given an AFRIpads School Girl Kit, AFRIpads underwear and a Girl Talk Booklet. Alongside the donation of products, the AFRIpads team facilitated training to the school girls. This training covered how to properly use and care for AFRIpads as well as more broadly teaching the girls about their menstrual cycle, reproductive system, and how to stay happy and healthy during their periods.
