ZanaAfrica is a health and human services enterprise based in Nairobi, Kenya. The organization asserts that access to sanitary pads and health education should be a basic right, noting that price and distribution barriers limit this access for many women and girls in East Africa. Its offering combines affordable, quality sanitary pads with health information, aimed at helping women and girls remain in school, participate in the workforce, and make informed maternal decisions. It scales its life skills and reproductive health curriculum through partnerships, including with government entities, to empower adolescents. The organization is described as an award-winning hybrid social enterprise.
