Sanitary Pads For Africa
Zana Africa
Solution Overview & Benefits
ZanaAfrica provides dignity and inspiration for women and girls to live their purpose through sanitary pads and related products.
We do more than make pads.
We work with our non-profit arm, ZanaAfrica Foundation, to create a powerful movement for girls and women across their lifetime, starting at adolescence. Together, we offer a support system that enables girls and women to access the information they seek and the high quality products they need to have a powerful connection to their bodies.
At ZanaAfrica, we implement innovative programming for both adolescent girls and boys in Kenya, to help them safely navigate puberty and unlock their potential. We take an ecosystem approach to delivering our work across Kenya:
-
Macro Level Work: Creating systems change with government
-
Local Level Work: Creating change with and for communities
-
Real-time Digital Support: Nia HealthLink
History & Development
ZanaAfrica equips adolescent girls in Kenya with the tools they need to safely navigate puberty and unlock their potential.
ZanaAfrica envisions a world where girls across Kenya are safe, healthy, and in the driver seat of their own lives.
ZanaAfrica was founded in 2007 by Megan White Mukuria. While working with Kenyan children in 2001, Megan learned that sanitary pads were out of reach for 65% of girls, and that they had no related health care education to support them through the joy and challenges of growing up.
Megan started ZanaAfrica in an effort to expand access to sanitary pads and reproductive health education among marginalized adolescent girls in Kenya.
ZanaAfrica has provided sanitary pads, underwear, and rights-based reproductive health education to support the education, health, and psychosocial outcomes of over 250,000 girls since its founding.
