From Bananas to Dignity: Building the Future of Feminine Hygiene in Ghana

Imagine a world where every girl has access to a period that's not only manageable, but empowering. At The Scarlett Project, we're turning that dream into reality, one innovative machine at a time.

Meet the future of feminine hygiene: biodegradable sanitary pads made from banana plant fiber, produced by machines designed and built with love and ingenuity. We're not just creating pads, we're crafting a revolution in access and sustainability.

Why banana fibers?

  • Sustainability: Banana pseudostems are readily available, locally sourced, and decompose quickly, reducing environmental impact.
  • Affordability: Locally sourced materials make production costs lower, ensuring affordability for girls in need.
  • Comfort: The natural fibers are soft, absorbent, and gentle on sensitive skin.

The machines:

  • Built with passion: Our dedicated team of engineers and designers are pouring their hearts into developing efficient, user-friendly machines for pad production.
  • Locally made: We're committed to empowering Ghanaian communities by building the machines locally, fostering skills and creating jobs.
  • Scalable: Our prototypes lay the foundation for future expansion, allowing us to reach more girls across Ghana and beyond.

More than just pads:

These machines are catalysts for change. They represent:

  • Education: We're partnering with communities to educate girls about menstruation, hygiene, and environmental responsibility.
  • Dignity: By providing free, accessible pads, we're giving girls the freedom to manage their periods with confidence and dignity.
  • Empowerment: We believe every girl deserves the right to education, health, and a brighter future.
