Makapads biodegradable sanitary pads

Papyrus-based pads that keep girls in school Makapads (Kampala, Uganda) makes biodegradable sanitary pads from papyrus, addressing a barrier where commercial pads are expensive and clog sanitation systems. Many girls miss school during menstruation; affordable local production changes that calculus. Impacc lists support as completed. What you can do - Source Makapads for schools, clubs, or mutual-aid distribution drives - Learn small-scale fibre processing from Makapads' public materials - Advocate for pad access alongside functioning toilets in every school you support How to participate - See the Makapads portfolio page for product history and contacts Why it matters Period dignity is education infrastructure. Local, biodegradable production keeps girls learning while respecting watersheds.
