At Business Connect, we seek to highlight innovations that respond directly to user needs—especially when they impact health, dignity, and education. The AFRIpads Schoolgirl Kit exemplifies this, having been developed through rigorous user-centered design alongside school-aged girls.

With a 2+ year lifespan, it minimizes the need for frequent distributions, making it ideal for large-scale implementation by NGOs and educational programs. Each pad features a high-tech construction: a stay-dry top layer, ultra-absorbent core, and anti-leak security—all working together to ensure reliability and hygiene.

Business Connect’s partner organizations will find the AFRIpads kit not only cost-effective, but deeply aligned with our shared goals of empowerment, access, and long-term impact for girls across low-resource settings.
