Together, We can Make a Bigger Impact on Period Poverty.
At PadHer, our goal is simple yet powerful: to support young African schoolgirls from underserved communities with the resources and education they need to manage their periods with dignity and confidence.
By doing so, we’re not only helping to keep girls in school—we’re also promoting:
✅ Quality Education
✅ Gender Equality
✅ Reduced Inequalities
✅ Good Health and Well-being
✅ Responsible Consumption and Production
Every pad, every comic book, every workshop brings us one step closer to an Africa where no girl is held back because of her period.
WHAT YOUR DONATION HELPS US DO
At PadHer, your support goes a long way toward creating real, lasting change in the lives of young African schoolgirls.
📚 Educate and Mentor Through Comic Books
We use engaging comic books to educate and mentor young girls from underserved communities on periods, puberty, and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR).
👉 Your donation helps us print and distribute more comic books, reaching thousands more girls across Africa.
🩸 Provide 5 Years of Period Protection
Every comic book distributed comes with:
- 3 high-quality reusable sanitary pads
- 1 wet bag
- 1 pair of underwear
So when we print 10,000 comic books, we also need 30,000 reusable pads, 10,000 wet bags, and 10,000 pairs of underwear.
👉 Your donation ensures a girl who can’t afford period products gets the support she needs.
📿 Boost Menstrual Awareness With Period Bracelets
Each comic also comes with a free period bracelet—a simple, powerful tool that helps girls track their cycle and stay prepared.
👉 Your donation helps create more bracelets and spread menstrual awareness across Africa.
🌍 Expand Our Reach With Language & Access
We’re translating our materials into more languages to reach as many girls as possible. Your donation also helps us get to more schools in underserved communities.
👉 You’re helping us go farther, faster.
SUPPORT US AS A SOCIAL ENTERPRISE
PadHer is more than just a nonprofit—we’re a mission-driven social enterprise. Our hybrid model allows us to stay sustainable while creating lasting impact across Africa.
💡 Innovating with Technology
We harness smart technology to tackle period-related challenges affecting the productivity and well-being of women and girls. One of our innovations is a wearable, drug-free period pain reliever using TENS technology, offering instant relief with no side effects.
👉 Profits from these devices directly support our mission to fight period poverty.
🩸 Products That Give Back
We manufacture and sell high-quality, affordable reusable sanitary pads. For every pad sold, one is donated to a schoolgirl who cannot afford one—giving her up to five years of reliable period protection.
Our educational comic books follow the same model:
👉 Buy one, donate one to a girl in an underserved community.
🎒 Merch With a Mission
We also sell exclusive PadHer merchandise—from stylish tees to accessories—designed to spread awareness and raise funds.
👉 Profits from merch sales are reinvested into our fight against period poverty, helping us reach more girls with the supplies and education they need.
There are 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and while each one is vital and interconnected, PadHer is especially aligned with: SDG 1 – No Poverty, SDG 3 – Good Health and Well-being, SDG 4 – Quality Education, SDG 5 – Gender Equality, SDG 6 – Clean Water and Sanitation, SDG 8 – Decent Work and Economic Growth, SDG 10 – Reduced Inequalities, and SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production
At PadHer, we're currently making real strides in addressing these SDGs, but with your support, we’re determined to expand our reach and begin addressing SDG 6 and SDG 8 as well! Together, we can build a stronger, fairer, and more empowered Africa—one girl at a time. 💪🏾💜
CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION
🚺 How We Plan to Address SDG 6
🏫 1. Constructing Private Girls-Only Toilets
We aim to build PadHer-run sanitation hubs—private, girls-only toilet facilities located in safe spaces just outside schools in underserved communities.
Each facility will include:
• A clean toilet
• A shower with running water
• Liquid soap
• A drying space for reusable pads
• A private area to change, clean up, and rest if needed
These spaces will empower young schoolgirls to stay in school during their periods—no more going home early, no more shame, no more interruptions to their learning.
💦 2. Drilling Boreholes
Water access is a basic right, and we’re committed to ensuring it reaches the communities that need it most.
• In Kenya, borehole drilling can cost between Ksh. 700,000 and Ksh. 4 million ($6,000 – $35,000)
• In Nigeria, it ranges from ₦500,000 to ₦2.5 million ($300 – $1,500)
We plan to drill boreholes in underserved areas to supply clean water for our sanitation hubs and also provide low-cost clean water to local households. As a social enterprise, this model will help generate income to keep PadHer sustainable and impactful.

DECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTH
At PadHer, we don’t just talk about change—we make it happen. As a social enterprise, we manufacture and sell high-quality, low-cost reusable sanitary pads, and we reinvest every profit into our mission to fight period poverty across Africa.
But we want to do more—and we need your support.
🧵 Our Next Big Step: Local Production for Global Impact
We’re working toward producing our reusable cloth pads locally, within Africa—and your donation can help us make that vision a reality.
Our goal is to:
• Train over 1,000 African women in the skill of making reusable sanitary pads
• Create sustainable jobs and income opportunities for women
• Ensure that production remains affordable, accessible, and rooted in the communities we serve
This isn’t just about pads.
This is about empowering women, building economic independence, and creating a supply chain of change—by women, for women.
💡 You Can Help Us:
• Set up training centers
• Purchase sewing machines and materials
Hire and support local trainers
• Build a lasting model for community-led pad production
Your donation directly impacts both the producers and the recipients of these life-saving sanitary pads.
Together, we can create a ripple effect of empowerment and dignity across Africa.
Donate now. Help us produce pads, create jobs, and rewrite the story of period poverty in Africa.
