At Wezesha Binti Foundation, we are dedicated to ending period poverty and empowering menstruators in underserved communities through sustainable menstrual health products, comprehensive education, and economic empowerment. Join us in creating a world where every menstruator can manage their health with dignity and confidence.

Our Pillars

Menstrual Health Management 

Providing quality and affordable menstrual health products to ensure menstruators have the resources they need to manage their periods with dignity and confidence.

Education

Delivering comprehensive menstrual and sexual reproductive health education to empower menstruators with knowledge, break down stigma, and promote informed health practices.

Economic Empowerment 

Empowering economically vulnerable women by teaching them transferable skills, enabling them to create sustainable menstrual products, and fostering economic stability within their communities.

Growth with Community

2018

Launch: A New Beginning 

In August 2018, Wezesha Binti Foundation was officially launched with our first community event. We held a fireside chat with students from Busia County, discussing the challenges menstruators face. The event also featured our inaugural fundraising drive, bringing together guests to support our mission.

2020

One Binti Box At a Time

Despite the global pandemic, Wezesha Binti demonstrated the power of collective action. Through generous donations and crowdfunding, we executed our largest donation drive yet, distributing Binti Boxes to menstruators in need. This effort showcased the community's resilience and dedication to supporting those facing menstrual health challenges.

2021

Empowerment Through Manufacturing 

In 2021, we expanded our impact by launching two manufacturing plants in Busia County, specifically in Bunyala and Nambale sub-counties. These plants enabled us to support economically vulnerable women by teaching them sewing skills to produce menstrual products. This initiative not only provided essential products but also promoted economic stability for the women involved.

2024

Binti Tales: An Affirmation Deck 

In 2024, we introduced Binti Tales: An Affirmation Deck, designed to support menstruators throughout their menstrual cycle. This deck offers a combination of stories, affirmations, conversation prompts, questions for gynecologists, and educational insights, aimed at empowering and guiding menstruators through every stage of their journey.
