WEpads - Cost-effective sustainable pads for schoolgirls and women in South Africa

WEpads stands for strengthening the independence of women in Africa. Currently about 1/3 of the schoolgirls in South Africa have a considerable disadvantage in education because they cannot go to school during their period. The reason for this is depressing: there is simply no money and no access to feminine hygiene products. This problem is called "period poverty". We learned about this problem during an excursion to South Africa with the University of Wuppertal and it became clear to us that we need to change this. Our vision is to fight "Period Poverty" in Africa. We believe that education about menstruation, hygiene, as well as the provision of inexpensive products, are essential factors. After some initial experience with our own prototypes, we found that this global problem can be solved best with a strong network. Together with our partners in South Africa and India, we are working on a sustainable long-term solution by producing cost-effective, biodegradable pads.

If you also want to help the girls and women in South Africa, we are very happy about your support!
