In a remarkable display of solidarity, Reflo Company Limited joined forces with Dr. Oheneyere Mercy Asiedu, Michy Diamond, Felicia Osei, Reflo’s Ms Candid, Reflo’s Church Girl, Reflo’s Barbie, Reflo’s Womanist and Reflo’s Maverick, along with esteemed media houses including Adom TV, Nhyira FM, Angel TV, Atinka, and Metro TV to commemorate World Menstrual Hygiene Day on 28th May 2023. This collaborative effort aimed to help to address a critical issue:

supporting young girls who cannot afford sanitary pads and often resort to unhygienic alternatives such as toilet rolls, cloth, or diapers.

With a commitment to providing practical solutions, Reflo Company Limited played a pivotal role in resolving this challenge by making quality pads available at affordable prices for these girls. Recognising the significance of the occasion, they lowered the prices of Reflo’s Sanitary pads and diapers, ensuring accessibility and affordability for the girl-child.

The convergence of Reflo’s marketing initiatives and World Menstrual Hygiene Day offered a prime opportunity to engage with the public and raise awareness about the importance of affordable, high-quality sanitary products.

In a world where menstrual hygiene is crucial, Reflo Company Limited stands as a beacon of support, providing quality sanitary pads that won’t break the bank. No longer do girls have to compromise on their well-being – Reflo’s sanitary pads have got them covered, offering a reliable and affordable option for a more comfortable period experience.

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.
