In honor of International Girl Child Day, The Florence Mensah Foundation joined hands with Reflo Company Limited to lend a helping hand to the Kayayei community in Accra. This heartfelt initiative took place at the Makola AMA forecourt in Accra, where they generously donated pads offering moments of relief and hope to these resilient young women.

The event saw the distribution of over 1,000 Reflo’s sanitary pads to the Kayayei, an initiative that aims to support vulnerable women in Ghana, particularly the female head porters. The theme of the event was “Empowering Kayayei with knowledge on good feminine hygiene and reproductive health care.”

The Florence Mensah Foundation and Reflo Company Limited, known for their commitment to educating young women about the importance of menstrual hygiene and general well-being, added a sensitisation program which was conducted by Faustina Boamah, a midwife from the Lekma Hospital. The Kayayei girls received practical training on proper hygiene practices, including the correct usage and disposal of sanitary napkins.

In addition to the educational efforts, the company’s brand ambassadors, Michy and Anita Akuffo, played an active role in educating and entertaining the Kayayei, underscoring the importance of good feminine hygiene and reproductive health care.

This joint effort, by the Florence Mensah Foundation and Reflo Company Limited serves as a reminder that even small acts of kindness can make a difference. By working together, we can create a better future for these young women.

In a heartfelt effort to promote menstrual health and empower young girls, the Greater Love Foundation, in collaboration with Reflo Company Ltd and The Florence Mensah Foundation (TFMF), successfully held its flagship outreach initiative Project Pad A Girl at Accra Central on Saturday, 2^nd August, 2025.

With the powerful theme “Menstrual Equity for All: Empowering Her,” the project provided Reflo’s sanitary pads and menstrual hygiene education to kayayoo (head porters) and other less privileged young women. The event aimed at uplifting vulnerable groups often left out of essential education and menstrual hygiene support. The campaign sought to address one of the most overlooked but deeply personal challenges many girls face — access to safe and hygienic menstrual products. The project reached over 500 girls, equipping them not only with essential Reflo’s sanitary products but also with the confidence, education and support needed to embrace womanhood with pride and dignity.

Speaking at the event, Eunice Esaaba Essien, Founder of the Greater Love Foundation, emphasised the campaign’s mission: “Periods should never stand in the way of a girl’s education, self-esteem or dreams. Through ‘Project Pad A Girl’, we are saying loudly and clearly that every girl deserves to feel clean, safe and empowered — regardless of her background.”

Central to the campaign was the donation of high-quality sanitary pads from Reflo Company Ltd, a Ghanaian-owned brand that has become synonymous with menstrual comfort and dignity. Designed for maximum protection, Reflo’s Sanitary Pads feature extra-long, extra-heavy capacity with up to 10 hours of absorption, providing the reliability that young girls need to go about their daily lives with confidence. Representatives from Reflo Company Ltd shared essential knowledge on how to care for themselves during their periods, manage stigma, stay healthy and confident.

The Reflo Company Ltd is very elated to be to part of this amazing initiative, because it’s mission aligns strongly with the theme of the program which is to empower young women to live boldly and without shame.
