Association pour la Promotion de la Santé des Communautés pour le Développement (SaCodé) is a non-profit social enterprise based in Bujumbura, Burundi. Their washable and reusable Agateka sanitary pads are made from locally sourced cotton fabrics, uniquely designed with straps that allow them to be worn with or without underwear. Pads are delivered alongside comprehensive menstrual hygiene management and sexual and reproductive health and rights education programming for adolescent girls, facilitated through school clubs, an SMS platform and magazines. Supplemental COVID-19 funding is supporting SaCodé's production of reusable, washable N95-type masks for healthcare workers.
