The Sustainable Periods Project is a gender equality and empowerment initiative focused on adolescent girls and women, situated in the Traditional Authority Lukwa of the Kasungu district. Our project aims to provide accessible, affordable, and eco-friendly menstrual hygiene solutions.

We offer training for young women in the production and distribution of handmade reusable sanitary pads, while also addressing norms around menstruation that hinder equal opportunities for girls, particularly in education. Our goal is to empower women and girls by promoting sustainable menstrual hygiene practices, aligning with our mission to enhance well-being, reduce environmental impact, and foster inclusive communities.

Empower Her Now is a transformative one-year initiative in Area 49, Lilongwe, focusing on economically empowering women aged 18 to 29. Through intensive tailoring and design courses, participants learn sustainable fashion practices, utilizing leftover fabric for marketable products.

Concurrently, monthly life skills sessions boost confidence and personal development for adolescent girls aged 15 to 18. The project fosters community engagement through mobilization, sensitization, and collaboration to ensure sustainable impact.

By integrating skills development, sustainable fashion, and community involvement, Empower Her Now aims to empower women, create market opportunities, and drive positive change. Led by the  and supported by skilled trainers, the initiative implements rigorous monitoring and feedback mechanisms for success. It envisions not only economic empowerment but also the cultivation of a culture of sustainability and community resilience.
