Empowering Change: The New Reusable Pads  Centre For Girls and Women in Nora, Oyam District.

 In a groundbreaking step toward sustainable development and gender equality, a new center dedicated to manufacturing reusable pads is rising in Nora, Oyam. Sponsored by ISSA(Sogea-Satom) , this center represents not just a physical structure but a transformative initiative poised to address period poverty, combat climate change, and provide crucial employment opportunities for local women.

A Vision for Sustainable Solutions

The journey to creating a reusable pads center began with a vision: to provide a sustainable, practical solution to period poverty while simultaneously addressing environmental and economic challenges. Period poverty, where women and girls lack access to affordable menstrual products, remains a significant barrier to education and dignity. In many communities, traditional menstrual products are not only expensive but also contribute to environmental waste.

Our new center in Nora, Oyam, is set to change that. By producing reusable pads locally, we’re offering a durable, eco-friendly alternative that is both affordable and sustainable. This initiative will help countless women and girls manage their menstrual health with dignity and ease, breaking the cycle of period poverty. the 2 acre center will act as a GBV safe space, tech, skilling, SRHR and climate hub for women in the area.

Tackling Climate Change with Every Pad

Environmental sustainability is at the core of this project. Traditional menstrual products often contribute to significant waste, as they are typically single-use and non-biodegradable. By producing reusable pads, we are reducing the environmental footprint associated with menstrual products. Each pad has the potential to replace hundreds of single-use items, dramatically decreasing the volume of waste that ends up in landfills.

This project aligns perfectly with our commitment to combat climate change. It’s a step toward reducing plastic waste and promoting eco-friendly practices. As more reusable pads enter circulation, the collective impact will contribute to a healthier planet, embodying our dedication to sustainable living.

Empowering Women through Employment

Beyond its environmental and social impacts, the center is also a beacon of economic opportunity. The facility will provide stable employment for local women, creating jobs and fostering economic growth in the community. These employment opportunities are not just about income but also about empowerment. Women working at the center will gain valuable skills in manufacturing, business operations, and quality control, which can open doors to further professional development.
