Reflo Company Limited, together with our brand ambassador Dr. Oheneyere Mercy Aseidu Agyemang Duah, made a donation to the Kumasi Central Women’s Prisons. The Deputy Director of Prisons, Edward Fiifi Acquah, called on the government and philanthropists respectively to work towards decongestion in the prisons and to assist in caring for the prisoners. He lamented the poor living conditions of the inmates and detailed the congestion menace bedeviling the institution.

The prisons were originally constructed to house 450 inmates but have an outstanding number of 1,952 these staggering figures raise the obvious issue of sanitation and ventilation. Reflo Company Limited supported Dr. Oheneyere Mercy Asiedu with sanitary pads and other hygiene products. This was to help buttress the efforts already being made toward the general well-being of the inmates. Reflo Company Limited’s Sales Supervisor, James Attimah, and Business Development Executive Mr. Hafiz Mohammed made known the willingness of the company in supporting the brand ambassador in this benevolent endeavor.

Reflo Company Ltd, in partnership with The Florence Mensah Foundation, has officially completed its landmark “Helping 1000 Girls to Embrace Their Flow” initiative, with the final round of sanitary pad distributions carried out in schools in Ashaiman, Nima and Assin Ochiso to commemorate Menstrual Hygiene Day 2025.

Launched in March 2024, the project was a bold commitment to support 1,000 deprived girls with a full year’s supply of high-quality sanitary pads and menstrual health education. One year on, the goal has been achieved — with 1,000 girls now better equipped to manage their menstrual health with dignity and confidence.

Beneficiaries of the project spanned across key communities and schools, including: Assin Ochiso D/A Basic School, Assin Ochiso Heritage Academy, Assin Hasowode D/A Basic School, Kedzi Havedzi A.M.E. Zion Basic School (Volta Region), Ashaiman No. 5B Basic School, Ashaiman No. 4 JHS and Nima Basic School.

The impact of the project extended far beyond distributing sanitary pads. Through school engagements, open conversations and hands-on educational sessions, the Foundation addressed long-standing stigma, corrected misconceptions and empowered young girls to approach their menstrual cycles with confidence, pride and self-assurance.

At the closing ceremony, Ms. Rebecca Osam, CEO of Reflo Company Ltd., remarked:

“Today, as we close this chapter, we are not just ending a project. We are celebrating a milestone — one that signifies progress, sparks awareness, inspires dialogue and lays the foundation for lasting change. To our brilliant young girls, you are strong, you are capable and you are unstoppable. And to everyone gathered here, let us not stop here. Let us continue to support, educate and build a community where our girls can thrive without fear, shame or judgment.”

With the “1000 Girls” project now complete, both Reflo Company Ltd and The Florence Mensah Foundation are urging government agencies, corporate organisations, NGOs and development partners to help scale the initiative nationally, reaching more underserved girls in vulnerable communities.

The success of this project is not just a milestone — it’s a call to action. A call to invest in menstrual equity. A call to shape a future where no girl’s education or dignity is compromised by her period.
