The pads for rural communities are made by Safe Girl, a company situated in a community in Mpigi District, which now employs 11 young moms.
Because they may last up to two years, reusable sanitary towels are perfect for those who live in remote places without running water, power, or toilets. They are also reasonably priced and environmentally safe. When it comes to climate catastrophe and lowering greenhouse gas emissions, this is excellent news.
