How I want to make an Impact

In alignment with the United Nations SDG 5, our quest is to achieve gender equality by empowering girls and women. We do this by providing equal access to sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR) and related services using innovative patient-centric technology. Our women’s health technology allows women to access family planning services and products the same way we order fast food online conveniently and discreetly.

We want to lead educational conversations and reduce the number of girls missing school due to menstruation. We empower youth (boys and girls) to become change agents and ambassadors of women’s health campaigns, champions of sanitary drives and activists of change.

Short biography

Change is about enhancing existing establishments for the welfare of society. Today, we see a great demand for innovative solutions geared towards enhancing sexual and reproductive health education and services equally for all women. My role as a change-maker to ensure that I collaborate, build and network with like-minded leaders.
As the people, our focus should be on building solutions to eradicate socioeconomic issues that affect youth and women globally.
