Reflo Company Ltd, in partnership with the Florence Mensah Foundation, has inaugurated a significant menstrual hygiene initiative, “Helping 1000 Girls to Embrace Their Flow,” at Kedzi Havedzi A.M.E Zion Basic School in the Volta Region of Ghana. The project commenced with a substantial donation of a six-month supply of Reflo’s sanitary pads to 300 girls in Keta Kedzi.

The project’s launch was marked by a mini durbar, attended by esteemed guests including Torgbui Joachim Acolatse V, who is the Duffia of Kedzi and also the Chairman of the Kedzi Traditional Authority, and the District Chief Executive. The event began with a welcoming speech from Mr. Hedzi, head of Kedzi-Havedzi A.M.E Zion Basic School.

The Managing Director of Reflo Company Ltd, Ms. Rebecca underscored the importance of the initiative. “We are not just launching a program; we are igniting a movement that will spread awareness, foster understanding, and create lasting change in the lives of our girls. We are planting the seeds of confidence, self-worth, and empowerment that will grow and flourish in the hearts of our young women,” she stated. She emphasised that menstruation is a symbol of strength and womanhood, and should not be a barrier.

A health talk by Nurse Judith emphasised the importance of menstrual hygiene and encouraged girls to see menstruation as a natural transition to womanhood. She provided practical advice on proper hygiene practices, including handwashing and pad disposal. The Reflo’s Ladies also demonstrated the correct use and disposal of sanitary pads, ensuring the girls understood the best practices.

The event also featured a student-led drama illustrating the drawbacks of using cloth versus the benefits of sanitary pads, and a choreography performance. The Directorate of Education expressed gratitude for the initiative and urged continued support for other communities.

The event concluded with the distribution of a six-month supply of Reflo’s sanitary pads to the girls. Over the next three months, Reflo Company Ltd and the Florence Mensah Foundation will return to Keta to provide additional pads to the 300 girls, totaling a year’s supply of Reflo’s sanitary pads. This initiative aims to break down barriers faced by women and girls due to lack of access to sanitary products. Through this partnership, Reflo Company Ltd and the Florence Mensah Foundation hope to inspire others to contribute to community well-being, marking the beginning of a brighter, more inclusive future for all girls.

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.
