We had the pleasure to talk with Elizabeth Scharpf, Founder of Sustainable Health Enterprises [SHE], at Africa Social Enterprise Forum this past weekend. Elizabeth shared SHE's newest product on the market in Africa - sanitation pads for women. We learned that a large majority of girls in the region are missing an average of 40 days of class a year, as a result of a lack of sanitation pads when they have their monthly period. The missed school days add up and have a significant impact on an individual girl's lifetime earning capacity, and a similar impact on a country's overall GDP. Watch this video interview to learn how Elizabeth's social enterprise, [SHE], is addressing this issue. Thanks again Elizabeth for sharing your many valuable insights!
