Reflo Company Ltd has been honoured with two esteemed awards at the 2024 Ghana Industries & Manufacturing Awards (GIMA). The ceremony, held on October 4, 2024, at the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel, gathered industry leaders and stakeholders to celebrate achievements in manufacturing and corporate social responsibility.

This year’s GIMA, themed “Excellence in Industries and Manufacturing: Setting the Standard for Quality and Efficiency,” emphasised the importance of resilience and innovation within the manufacturing sector.

Under the visionary leadership of CEO Ms. Rebecca Osam, Reflo Company Ltd was awarded the title of Best Manufacturer of Sanitary Products and also recognised as the Outstanding CSR Contributor of the Year. These accolades highlight the company’s commitment to delivering high-quality products while making significant social contributions aimed at enhancing the lives of young girls in Ghana.

Reflo’s dedication to social responsibility is exemplified by its partnership with The Florence Mensah Foundation, through which the company has launched initiatives such as the “1000 Girls Project.” This project has successfully provided essential sanitary products to numerous girls, ensuring their uninterrupted access to education.

In her acceptance speech, Ms. Rebecca Osam expressed gratitude for the recognition, attributing the success to the collective efforts of the Reflo team. “These awards symbolise our unwavering commitment to empowering young women. Every girl deserves access to basic hygiene products and we are resolute in our mission to eliminate barriers to education caused by a lack of sanitary supplies,” she stated.

Reflo Company Ltd’s achievements at the 2024 Ghana Manufacturing Awards underscore its status as a leader in the industry and its ongoing dedication to community development and social impact. With plans to expand its outreach and enhance its product offerings, Reflo Company Ltd is dedicated to continuing its journey as a pillar of support for women and girls, driving progress in the fight for gender equality and access to hygiene products in Ghana.

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.
