Investing in teenage girls for a more just, stable, and peaceful world!

Malawi, Africa is plagued with old beliefs such as girls are made for marriage. 60% of girls in Malawi do not finish primary school, the U.S. equivalent of 8th grade. Many teenage girls drop out of school due to a lack of available menstrual products. Africa Pads are re-usable, eco-friendly pad kits that are fighting to change these statistics.

Education is essential for empowerment. Africa Pads is focused on the fight to keep girls in school!

About Malawi

Villagers making bag handles

Over 65 percent of Malawi’s 12 million people live below the poverty line of less than 1 US dollar a day, while 22 percent of the population is categorized as ultra-poor.

The plight of Malawi has been described by some as the perfect storm of human deprivation. It has a combination of climatic disasters, impoverishment, the AIDS pandemic, malaria, schistosomiasis and other diseases.

“There’s no doubt about it — masks are saving lives. These small but powerful tools have been recommended by every credible source to effectively slow the spread of the coronavirus. The problem is that masks and other personal protective equipment (PPE), like gloves, are ending up in our oceans and harming wildlife and the environment. Many people, like medical personnel and folks with certain disabilities or high risk factors, need to use single-use masks and gloves. But for many more people, reusable masks are a better, more sustainable solution! Already, conservationists and marine biologists across the globe are finding masses of gloves and masks in our earth’s bodies of water. One video shows an octopus trapped beneath a single-use medical mask, unable to free itself. Other footage shows beaches clogged with masks, and scuba divers surrounded by so many gloves that it looks like confetti. We need to reduce the use of these single-use products by reserving them for those who need them and supplying the rest of the population with reusable ones.”
