Takoradi: Softcare FM Manufacturing company has marked the 2026 International Menstrual Hygiene Day with a campaign highlighting the critical role of youth-led leadership in driving community wellness and creating safe spaces for open, shame-free conversations about menstrual dignity.
According to Ghana News Agency, the theme for this year, 'Period Friendly World', underscores the need for collective efforts to build a society where menstruation is no longer surrounded by stigma. Softcare contributed to this vision by donating their products to vulnerable women and school girls, giving back to society in a meaningful way.
A key initiative was the partnership with the Women Commission of the Takoradi Technical University in hosting a menstrual hygiene education campaign across Takoradi, where premium sanitary pads were distributed to empower hundreds of local junior high school girls.
Recognised by Frost and Sullivan as a leader in both the baby diaper and sanitary pad markets in Africa in terms of production volume, Softcare FM Manufacturing has, over the past two decades, become a titan for high-quality assurance, protecting the dignity of women and children globally.

In Ghana, Softcare can produce about seven million packs monthly, delivering consistent supply at scale and competitive prices, employing over 1,000 people, 90 percent of whom are locals, mostly women.
Beyond its products and generosity, the company has remained fully tax-compliant, contributing millions of Ghana cedis to the Ghana Revenue Authority, making it a dependable partner in national development.
