Reflo Company Limited, in collaboration with The Florence Mensah Foundation successfully executed a visit to the Asuboi Methodist Primary School in Asuboi, Ayensuano District of the Eastern Region on March 8, 2023. This is the first project spearheaded by Reflo Company Limited. The objective of the visit was to raise awareness of personal hygiene and provide good-quality sanitary pads to female students.

The Florence Mensah Foundation is dedicated to empowering girls and women in Ghana, and this event showcased their commitment to their cause.

What sets The Florence Mensah Foundation apart from other NGOs is its approach to providing long-term solutions for the African woman and girl child. Rather than supplying a large number of girls with one or two sanitary pads, they focused on a smaller number of girls and provided a yearly supply, as many girls cannot afford to purchase pads on a monthly basis. While many NGOs provide similar support, the foundation’s yearly approach ensures a longer-lasting impact on the girls and women they support.

The event was a success, as the foundation and Reflo Company Limited’s commitment to personal hygiene and menstrual health were highlighted. By targeting a smaller group and providing long-term solutions, Reflo Company Limited and The Florence Mensah Foundation are making significant strides in promoting better menstrual health practices and empowering girls and women 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.
