Millennium Fellowship Project: EmpowerFlow: Sustainable Menstrual Wellness
EmpowerFlow is a skill acquisition project which aims to address period poverty and
empower girls and women within reproductive age. It entails training young girls and
women who suffer period poverty in the production of healthy, eco-friendly reusable
sanitary pads.
EmpowerFlow will relieve the impossible burden of purchasing sanitary pads every
menstrual cycle. In addition, women will be empowered for mass production.
