GET TO KNOW US

We do more than make pads

We work with communities, schools, and partners to design and deliver solutions that empower adolescents to stay healthy, stay in school, and thrive. By combining menstrual health products and rights-based health education, we equip adolescents with the knowledge, confidence, and resources they need to make informed choices about their lives.

ZanaAfrica brings together three distinct entities: a social enterprise (ZanaAfrica Group), a nonprofit (ZanaAfrica Programs), and a foundation (ZanaAfrica Foundation). Together, we work across products, education, and partnerships to drive systems change that addresses gender-based violence, teen pregnancy, and HIV, and advances gender equality.
