Her Period Story, Our Mission

In Kenya, 65% of women face the harsh reality of period poverty. They struggle to afford basic menstrual products, resorting to makeshift solutions like rags, old or even tissue paper. This silent crisis forces 42% of schoolgirls to miss school during their periods, robbing them of their education and potential.

Heels4Pads is rewriting this narrative of shame and stigma. We believe that every girl deserves to walk confidently into her future, unburdened by the lack of menstrual products. Our innovative “heels exchange” program empowers women to turn their gently used heels into tools of hope and dignity providing sanitary pads and education to the girls and women with unmet menstrual needs in Kenya and beyond.
