One Million Pads Initiative (OMPAI) Project

What is OMPAI?

The One Million Pads Initiative (OMPAI) is a pioneering project by Beulah Foundation Limited that aims to address menstrual health challenges and promote environmental sustainability in Malawi. OMPAI is dedicated to providing girls and women with access to eco-friendly reusable sanitary pads, helping them manage menstruation with dignity while reducing environmental waste.

Our Mission:

OMPAI seeks to empower women and girls by ensuring they have access to safe, affordable, and sustainable menstrual products. Through this initiative, we strive to break the silence surrounding menstruation, reduce absenteeism in schools due to lack of menstrual products, and foster environmental responsibility.

Why Reusable Pads?

In Malawi, many girls and women struggle to afford sanitary products, leading to health risks, missed school days, and social stigma. Disposable pads not only contribute to these challenges but also generate significant plastic waste, posing a threat to the environment.

 

Reusable sanitary pads offer a sustainable solution. They are cost-effective, last longer, and reduce the environmental footprint associated with disposable products. By promoting reusable pads, OMPAI helps ensure that no girl or woman is left behind due to her period.

 

 

- Manufacturing and Distribution:
OMPAI produces high-quality reusable sanitary pads that are distributed to girls and women across Malawi, especially in underserved communities. Each pad is designed for comfort, durability, and sustainability.

- Education and Awareness:
We conduct workshops and training sessions to educate communities on menstrual health, the benefits of reusable pads, and proper hygiene practices. By raising awareness, we aim to break the stigma surrounding menstruation and empower women to take charge of their health.

- Environmental Impact:
By reducing reliance on disposable pads, OMPAI contributes to the reduction of plastic waste in Malawi. Our initiative promotes a culture of sustainability, encouraging communities to adopt eco-friendly practices in all aspects of life.

 

Your support is crucial to the success of OMPAI. We rely on donations and partnerships to fund the production, distribution, and educational outreach of our reusable pads. Here’s how you can help:

Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference. A donation of just $10 can provide a girl with a complete set of reusable pads that will last her for years. Your donation not only supports her menstrual health but also keeps her in school, ensuring she has a brighter future.

By sponsoring a community, you can help us provide reusable pads to hundreds of women and girls, along with educational workshops and materials. Sponsorships can be tailored to your preferences, and we provide regular updates on the impact of your support.
