Kuja’s impact:

Conventional pads (most of which are imported from China) are either not available at all, or unaffordable for most women.

KujaEcoPads are typically half the price of normal pads.

This affordability enables women to forget having to use unsterilised cloths (or whatever else they can find), which can cause pain, discomfort, shame and low self-esteem.

Our eco-pads provide for the predicted 1,000,000 girls who miss school due to periods in Northern Cameroon. In doing so we support them so they can learn and thrive at school and for the rest of their lives.

12 tonnes of CO2 reduced:

Equivalent to 8 long-haul flights ✈
More than 30,000 young women

positively impacted by our eco-pads 🌷
8 tons of plastic reduced 🌿

equivalent to 160,000 plastic bottles!
$40,000 worth of increased income

for women employed in rural areas ✔

What Girls Are Saying:

Nchah Joy

“I have been working here a couple of months. I heard about it from the programmes about menstrual health on menstrual health hygiene day.
The pads are natural and it prevents the use of harmful materials to manage periods. I would definitely recommend younger girls to use KujaEcoPads!”
Barah Joyceline

“My mum told me about KujaEcoPads so I came to see what it was like. Here, I feel like I am making a difference.
Apart from producing the pads, I love being here because I feel supported by the Kuja family.
When I am older I want to become a businesswoman in Bamenda so this is a great experience!”
Secunde Ndizh

“I heard about Kuja’s organisation through my husband. It has helped me to have a job because before I was unemployed. Now I can support my 3 girls who are 10, 13 and 17.
When my girls grow up I am happy that they will be able to use the pads and that their period will not stop them from going to school. ”
Siriwah Noalla

“I heard about KujaEcoPads from my sister Barah. I was very happy when I found out about it. Especially as I heard Kuja had won Commonwealth Awards!
I was very excited to come and work here. I want to keep working here all my life and keep learning about the pads. I would love to educate other girls and spread awareness of how great they are!”
Amabel Faith

“I have been working here for a couple of months. I joined because I saw it was a good experience to get to work with older women in my community; to acquire knowledge and advice.
I really like working here because we all get on really well and it’s a big family.”
