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.

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.
