Who We Are

A Social enterprise for menstrual health

We are a social enterprise founded in 2014 in Kigali, Rwanda. We use human-centered design to equip women and girls in underserved communities with cost-effective and sustainable menstrual and reproductive health solutions that strengthen agency and enable full participation in society.
