Vision & Mission

At Sana Pads, our mission is to combat period poverty in a sustainable manner.
By providing reusable sanitary pads, we aim to promote gender equality and overcome barriers to menstruation.

The Problem

In Nigeria alone, around 50 million women currently have no or only limited access to hygienic period products.

As a result, girls regularly miss days of school and sometimes drop out of school altogether.



In some cases, girls have to take extreme measures to access menstrual products.

The use of unhygienic alternatives such as newspapers, old kitchen towels and sticks often leads to infectious diseases.

Our Approach

Our team is committed to making a positive impact on the world, one project at a time. From producing pads to outreaches, each member plays a crucial role in achieving our goals.

We believe in the power of education and community support. Together, we work tirelessly to bring resources and knowledge to those in need.

Why we started

The idea started when one of our team members was still a teenager:

Nigerian Team Member

“My parents never gave me money for Sanitary Pads or similar products. I had three option when I got my first period with 11 years:
1) Missing 25% of school
2) Working day and night for a small income
3) Selling my body to older man to afford pads”

Our Impact so far

Since the incorporation of Sana Pads, we sold over 3000 pads, raised donations for girls who cannot afford pads.
In this way, we have significantly contributed to reducing disposable pad waste and bringing girls back to school.
