STAR Durable PADS

Our Story

In Uganda many young girls face challenges with menstruation once they reach puberty, unable to afford menstrual hygiene materials, they are regularly miss or forced to drop out of school. This not only has an impact on the individual girls effected, but also creates barriers to progress and prosperity for the girls' future families and communities, impacting the country as a whole. STAR Durable Pads was created in reaction to this issue; we aim to offer an affordable, sustainable, and comfortable solution to girls and women. We hope to help as many girls as possible with a safe and healthy maintenance of their menstruation. All our pads are locally crafted, supporting seamstresses in the community. Profits made from the sale of our pads go towards offering sexual reproductive health trainings in schools and communities. Empowering women to succeed by promoting body awareness and body autonomy.
