About Us

PadMad is a Kenya-based social enterprise on a mission to end period poverty and restore dignity to women and adolescent girls affected by inequality.

We envision a future where every girl and woman can manage her period with confidence, free from barriers that limit access to education, work, and everyday life.

Through a holistic and sustainable approach, we empower underprivileged and marginalized communities by:

Education & Awareness

Breaking taboos and misinformation through comprehensive menstrual health management (MHM) and sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR) education.

Affordable & Sustainable Solutions

Providing biodegradable, reusable menstrual pads that are eco-friendly, cost-effective, and designed to meet real needs.

Economic Empowerment

Creating jobs and training opportunities for marginalized women, fostering financial independence and self-sustaining communities.

Despite ongoing efforts, period poverty remains a daily reality for millions of women and girls worldwide.

This is not a new issue, it has persisted for generations, limiting opportunities and reinforcing inequality.

As an impact-driven organization, we have developed a proven, holistic Menstrual Health and Hygiene (MHH) solution, backed by strong data and evidence.

Alongside our reusable menstrual kits, we equip our partners with essential resources, including an MHH Education Toolkit and a Monitoring & Evaluation framework, to drive meaningful, long-term change.

But we cannot do it alone

We are committed to collaborating with communities, organizations, and governments to scale solutions across Kenya, Africa, and beyond.

Together, we can end period poverty and create a world where menstruation is never a barrier to dignity, education, or opportunity.

Let’s work together.
