SHE - Sustainable Health Enterprises

SHE intends to fulfill girls’ and women’s unmet need by helping local women in developing countries jump-start their own businesses to manufacture and distribute affordable, quality, and eco-friendly sanitary pads. SHE will look to use local raw materials, instead of all imported materials, to ensure affordability and accessibility.

SHE will couple its product innovation with a financially sustainable business model operated and owned by women in the community that can be replicated wherever the need exists. SHE will instigate the launch of a local business by

• Partnering with existing local women’s networks;
• Ensuring a microfinance loan for women who will share start-up costs;
• Training local group in necessary business skills and health and hygiene.
