Moms Know Best

This year, we celebrated Mother’s Day at our Ngoma production site by inviting our team’s children to tour the facility and enjoy in some special treats. We asked their children what they most appreciate about their mothers, and their responses (and photos) are too charming not to share!

Our mothers had their turn too to share what is most meaningful to them about working at SHE.

" I didn’t feel comfortable to talk about menstruation and pads, but now that I produce them I feel comfortable and confident to talk about both menstruation and using pads."

Thanks to our working moms are doing to make a lasting impact for their children and for their communities! Happy Mother’s Day!
