On 31st May 2024, the University of Ghana’s Athletic Oval came alive with energy and
excitement as Reflo, in partnership with the School of Languages, hosted the inaugural
FLO FEST.

This groundbreaking event, dedicated to women’s health and wellness, marked a vibrant
celebration of sisterhood, self-love, and liberation.

Flo Fest, the first of its kind, aimed to raise awareness about menstrual hygiene and women’s
empowerment. The festival featured an array of engaging activities designed to educate,
entertain, and empower attendees. Among the highlights were a sip and paint session,
basketball games, and a spin-the-wheel contest, creating an atmosphere of fun and
camaraderie.

Healthcare professionals, including Dr. Erica Ntiamoah and Dr. Vanessa Mensah-Kabu, were
on hand to provide valuable insights into women’s health. Booths offering free health
screenings were a significant attraction, enabling attendees to receive important health
checks and advice.

Brand ambassadors Michy and Anita Akuffo graced the event, engaging with the crowd and
contributing to the festival’s success. The presence of Reflo’s Ladies further enhanced the
spirit of the event, as they interacted with attendees and ensured everything ran smoothly.
Numerous games and activities kept the energy high throughout the day. Participants
enjoyed sip and paint, spin the wheel, basket toss, open lock, ball stacking, ball puzzle,
musical chairs, and karaoke sessions. These activities came with exciting prizes, including
cash rewards, Reflo’s sanitary pads, and other goodies, adding an element of excitement
and competition to the festival.

Entertainment was a key component of Flo Fest, with DJ Phantom providing a lively
soundtrack that kept the crowd dancing and enjoying the day. The combination of health
talks, interactive activities, and music created a holistic experience that left attendees
feeling informed, entertained, and empowered.

FLO FEST 2024 successfully highlighted the importance of women’s health and
empowerment in a festive and inclusive environment. The organisers, Reflo Company Ltd,
Aspirar International and the University of Ghana, School of Languages expressed their
gratitude to all who attended and look forward to making FLO FEST an annual tradition,
continuing to champion women’s health and empowerment in Ghana.

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.
