Mission Statement
Our mission is to support Africa's most vulnerable girls and young women who don't have access to menstrual pads and health education. We do this by providing them with reusable menstrual pads and comprehensive reproductive health and wellness education. We want to help these girls and young women so they have opportunities for better futures.
About This Cause
Huru International provides vulnerable girls and young women in Africa with the means to manage their periods by producing and distributing kits containing re-usable menstrual pads and other necessary health and hygiene resources. Huru's aim is to reduce rates of menstruation-related absenteeism and drop-out among girls, who routinely miss as much as 80 days of school each year because they cannot afford to buy menstrual pads during their periods. Providing these re-usable menstrual kits widens access to the resources and knowledge young girls need to develop healthy, sustainable and economically secure futures. Each Huru Kit comes packaged in a drawstring backpack and includes six re-usable menstrual pads, three pairs of underwear, a bar of washing soap, two re-sealable waterproof bags (for safe storage of soiled pads), instructions on how to use Huru Pads, and educational materials. Huru International has provided over 300,000 Huru Kits to girls and women from Kenya and Tanzania, helping to reduce period-related school absences by up to 87% in some communities. Huru Pads are sustainably sourced and ethically made by local men and women in Nairobi, Kenya.
