Period poverty is an international issue impacting countless girls and women. It’s estimated that 1 in 10 menstruating girls and young women are absent from school during their periods due to insufficient access to menstrual products and healthcare services. To combat this, NTT DATA has joined forces with Palesa Pads in the #KeepAGirlChildInSchool initiative. Palesa Pads provides a sustainable option with their reusable pads, which are designed to last up to 5 years and cost merely 20% of what disposable pads would. These pads are crafted from premium, washable materials and feature a sports fabric layer that wicks moisture away, ensuring the wearer remains dry throughout the day. A leak-proof outer layer adds extra security. The pads are thoughtfully designed to offer ultimate protection against leaks and potential embarrassment, particularly for schoolgirls. A single purchase promises up to 5 years of use, significantly cutting down on waste.

Moreover, Palesa Pads are free from harmful chemicals and are much more hygienic than disposable pads. A single purchase can last up to five years, contributing to waste reduction. Beyond addressing period poverty, Palesa Pads also promote education and environmental consciousness.
