The problem

Periods shouldn’t cost a girl her education.

Without safe and affordable period care, a natural part of life becomes a barrier to education, health and opportunity.

01

Missed education

Girls can miss up to 50 school days each year because they cannot safely manage their periods.

02

Unsafe alternatives

When safe products are unavailable, girls may rely on unsuitable materials that create discomfort and health risks.

03

Financial pressure

The ongoing cost of disposable products can compete with food, school fees and other essential family expenses.

The Cova solution

The cup is only the beginning.

Every distribution combines a reusable menstrual cup with locally led education and ongoing support.

Real Stories of Change

"When I first received the cup, I had a huge doubt, but my first experience with the cup was magical. I felt so confident. I wasn't worried about leaking. I wasn't worried about changing it at school. Now I'm at secondary school and I'm thriving."

— Sonnie, age 17
