Reusable sanitary pads for women
A Nigerian proverb says:
“It takes a whole village to raise a child”
But it surely also takes a whole village to run a successful business!
Today, UN Women Uganda became a part of that village that will help us grow a successful business and keep girls in school!
I can’t express how happy, tired and proud I am!
This is how 800 pads look like! Made in 2 weeks!
Going to school girls in Gambia! Our first international order completed!

Working on the packaging of our pads. She for She pads soon in your store
#Uganda #SheForShe
The production of The She for She sanitary pads are just around the corner. So it’s time for us to think about how the packaging should look like.
So I got this idea that the girl who should be the face of She for She should be a super heroine. Because superheroes can do anything.
So when the girls use The She for She sanitary pads during their periods, they can do anything too!
– The girl’s won’t stay home from school because of their period. A girl will be able to go out, play, have fun and be a child with her peers, and her period will no longer hold her back.
As you can see, we are still in working progress with our strong and powerful superheroine. But we are looking so much forward, to show you the final result.

Ladies and gentlemen! Here you have them!
My day started early today. At 6 am Ugandan time, which equals to 5 am Danish Time.
I had to go to Kampala’s largest secondhand market. I was told to go there early in the morning to buy things cheaper. As tired as I was, I was finally awakened by men and women shouting:
Come and buy, come and buy!
