Starting on May 18 and running through to MH Day 2020, the social enterprise AFRIpads will be showcasing a Menstrual Health champion every day, whom they feel has played an important role in empowering women and girls through improving MHH worldwide.

From schoolgirls in rural Uganda to international artists using their music to support the period poverty movement, AFRIpads hopes to shine a light on the reality that menstrual hygiene is a global issue that affects everybody.

The social enterprise has symbolically chosen to profile 10 individuals because this year, it is celebrating #ADecadeofAFRIpads.

You will be able to follow these posts on all AFRIpads social media channels.
