In a significant accomplishment for menstrual health advocacy in Ghana, Reflo Company Ltd., in partnership with the Springfield Group and The Florence Mensah Foundation, has successfully completed half of their project providing a year’s supply of sanitary pads to 1,000 young girls. This initiative, designed to combat period poverty, has made a lasting impact by ensuring girls have consistent access to essential menstrual products, allowing them to continue their education and daily activities confidently and without interruption.
Focusing on underserved communities, the latest phase of this initiative included outreach programs at Ashaiman No. 5B Basic, Ashaiman No. 4 Junior High School and the Nima Cluster of Schools. In these areas, girls often face challenges in accessing sanitary products, leading to missed school days and health risks.
Rebecca Osam, CEO of Reflo Company Ltd., expressed her pride in the program’s success, saying, “We are thrilled to have reached our goal of supporting 1,000 girls with a full year’s supply of sanitary pads. This project reflects our commitment to empowering young women by removing barriers to their education and well-being.”
The Springfield Group’s involvement in this second phase significantly extended the program’s reach, while The Florence Mensah Foundation provided essential community support and advocacy. Together, these organisations not only supplied sanitary pads but also facilitated education on menstrual health, aiming to reduce stigma and foster a supportive environment for young women. With this milestone achieved, Reflo Company Ltd., Springfield Group and The Florence Mensah Foundation continue to make a powerful impact on the lives of young Ghanaian girls, empowering them to embrace their futures with dignity and confidence.
