South African brand Lil-Lets on Friday donated 6 000 sanitary pad packs and five menstrual corners to the One Economy Foundation and its partner organisations to support menstrual health initiatives in Namibia.
Beneficiaries, including Girl Up Namibia, Havana Charity Work Foundation, Lidar Foundation and the Zambezi Girl Child Foundation, will distribute the products to girls and young women in their communities.
The donation forms part of a partnership between Lil-Lets and the One Economy Foundation aimed at improving access to menstrual hygiene products and promoting awareness about menstrual health.
The handover followed Lil-Lets’ university roadshow in Windhoek, where it engaged students from five tertiary institutions to discuss menstrual health and menstrual hygiene management.
According to One Economy, evidence from the engagement suggests many students still feel hesitant to speak openly about menstruation, noting the urgent need to normalise conversations at a national level.
Premier FMCG representative Michaela Boing says the initiative seeks to address both access to sanitary products and the stigma surrounding menstruation.
“This initiative is about more than providing products; it is about shifting mindsets. By working alongside national leaders, students and community organisations, we are helping to reposition menstrual health as a shared societal responsibility, not a silent struggle,” she says.
One Economy Foundation executive chairperson Monica Geingos has welcomed the donation, saying it would help advance dignity, access and awareness for women and girls.
“Elevating menstrual health onto the national agenda affirms that dignity, access and open conversation are fundamental rights. When we normalise these discussions, we unlock confidence, opportunity and agency for women and girls across Namibia,” she says.
Lil-Lets is a South African brand established in 1954 that offers a range of sanitary products including tampons, pads and intimate care across southern Africa to support menstrual health and empower people through education and advocacy.
