New Padco factory aims to end period poverty

AGOJIE PAD INITIATIVE

- STAFF REPORTER

THE MENstruation Foundation has opened its own Padco factory, and created the Agojie Pad to combat period poverty in South Africa, a dream which SA actor and comedian Siv Ngesi and Marius Basson have been waiting for.

Information of the location of the factory in the Western Cape has yet to be disclosed by the team.

Co-founded by Ngesi and Basson, the foundation aims to restore dignity and opportunity to girls by providing access to menstrual products.

Ngesi emphasises that this is a “human issue,” and the goal is to create sustainable, long-term impact.
