Kujuwa Initiative is a charity based in Kenya that trains and supports young people, families, and educators in sexual reproductive health, rights, and menstrual hygiene management.
Kujuwa Initiative employs women to produce washable sanitary pads using fabric waste from the SOKO Kenya Clothing Factory and donates them to girls along with training.
With a deep understanding of the immense challenges faced by menstruating individuals in marginalized communities, Kujuwa Initiative is committed to providing sustainable and holistic solutions. The social enterprise believes that no person should be held back by the limitations imposed by menstruation and that every individual deserves access to safe and affordable menstrual products, education, and support.
The Kujuwa Initiative raises awareness and educates communities about menstrual hygiene, breaking taboos, and promoting understanding. They also produce and distribute affordable, eco-friendly sanitary pads to those in need, reducing waste and ensuring access to quality products.
Through their school program, workshops, and outreach programs, Kujuwa Initiative equips women and girls with the knowledge and skills to manage their periods confidently and with dignity. By empowering them, the organization creates opportunities for economic growth and social empowerment.
The Kujuwa Initiative’s impact goes beyond immediate relief. They envision a future where menstruation is no longer a barrier to education, health, and dignity. Their work has gained recognition and support from local communities, national institutions, and international partners.
As they continue to expand, Kujuwa Initiative remains committed to its mission of ending period poverty in Kenya and creating a world where everyone can reach their full potential, free from the limitations of menstruation.
