Menstrual Health: Softcare Empowers Nigerian Girls to Grow with Confidence

Softcare, in partnership with Lola Cater Foundation and The Menstrual Talks, participated in the SHE IS READY community initiative, donating sanitary pads and wet wipes to support adolescent girls and help them navigate puberty with greater health, confidence, and dignity. At the event, Softcare representative OSASONA MICHEAL DOLAPO emphasized that every girl deserves access to reliable menstrual hygiene products, accurate health information, and a supportive environment where she is treated with understanding and respect. Girls should never feel ashamed of menstruation, nor should a lack of hygiene products prevent them from attending school or participating in everyday activities. Reliable menstrual hygiene products are essential to safeguarding girls’ menstrual health and personal dignity. For Softcare, its commitment to caring for women is reflected not only in community initiatives but also in its continuous efforts to improve product quality and enhance consumer comfort. In Nigeria, Softcare’s manufacturing and operations are managed by Century Industrial FZE. The establishment of a local manufacturing facility enables the company to better develop and produce products that meet the needs of local consumers, delivering quality products and services to the community while supporting local employment and the development of the manufacturing sector. The facility has obtained ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System certification. In addition, products manufactured at the facility have undergone testing by leading professional testing organizations in Europe, including SGS. The positive test results provide strong support for the quality credentials of locally manufactured Softcare products. The SHE IS READY initiative builds on Softcare’s ongoing efforts to address the needs of women and families through community engagement. In May this year, Softcare organized a maternal care initiative at General Hospital Gbagada in Lagos. Through its participation in SHE IS READY, the company has extended its community outreach to adolescent girls, working with its partners to address their menstrual health needs, everyday challenges, and aspirations for the future. Looking ahead, Softcare will continue to put quality at the heart of its business and care at the center of its community engagement. Through reliable products, sustained local investment, and community partnerships, Softcare aims to support women and families across Nigeria, helping more girls manage their periods with confidence and pursue their dreams. Softcare — Softness makes a better world.
