On Thursday, June 6th, 2024, Reflo Company Ltd proudly partnered with The Florence Mensah Foundation to make a meaningful impact on the lives of young girls in Assin Ochiso, located in the central region of Ghana. The collaborative effort was part of the foundation’s transformative ‘1000 Girls’ project aimed at empowering girls through access to menstrual hygiene products.

Mr. Jacob Sereboah, the head teacher of Assin Ochiso D/C Junior High School, extended a warm welcome to the foundation’s representatives and Reflo Company Ltd, introducing them to the gathered community members.

Madam Florence Mensah, the esteemed founder of the Florence Mensah Foundation, delivered an impassioned address, emphasising the importance of providing sanitary pads to young girls. She highlighted the initiative’s critical role in safeguarding girls from exploitation and empowering them to pursue their dreams without the hindrance of menstruation-related challenges.

Adding to the sentiment, the Managing Director of Reflo Company Ltd expressed their commitment to the well-being of African women and girls, affirming that they deserve the best care and support.

Following this generous gesture, the Reflo’s Ladies conducted an informative health talk on menstrual hygiene, offering valuable insights into pad usage and disposal techniques to maintain cleanliness and prevent staining. Practical demonstrations underscored the importance of proper hand washing and garment care.

In a poignant theatrical performance, students depicted the challenges faced by families in affording sanitary products, often resorting to makeshift solutions like “Amoasin” or “Ntoma” (cloth). Their heartfelt gratitude extended to both Reflo Company Ltd and The Florence Mensah Foundation and for their compassionate initiative. The event concluded with the distribution of a six-month supply of Reflo’s sanitary pads to 213 menstruating girls, reinforcing the commitment of both organisations to improving the lives of young girls in the community. Mr. Sereboah, on behalf of the entire school community, expressed sincere appreciation for the enduring impact of the Florence Mensah Foundation and Reflo Company Ltd. Both organisations affirmed their commitment to ongoing support, ensuring a brighter future for girls in Ochiso and beyond.

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.
