Gender Equality
The fight for gender equality is multi-faceted and complex, spanning generations across the world. Sexism can act at any level, from the government to family life. That’s why identifying and addressing concrete avenues for change can be a crucial weapon in striving for equality.
Alongside our partners, Aid Pioneers focuses on tackling period poverty and taboo—an issue that can affect everything from school attendance to job opportunities, enforcing cycles of inequity and making it a key, concrete target in the fight for gender equality.
Period Poverty (n):
a cycle of alienation and lack of opportunity for people who menstruate.
Millions of people who menstruate do not have the resources to manage their periods. Inadequate access to hygiene products and societal taboos often combine to create period poverty.
United Nations estimate that “1 in 10 girls in Sub-Saharan Africa misses school during their menstrual cycle.” Addressing period poverty is a fundamental aspect of fighting for gender equality.

Fixed Capital Investmnets
As buyers for hygiene kits ramp up, production capacity needs to grow with it. Here, Aid Pioneers turns to capital investments. With our partners, we see what input suits the organization's strategy best, and work to match their needs.
