Who We Are
The MelloPads is a menstrual healthcare venture inspired by the United Nations sustainable development goal three (good health and wellbeing). The venture focuses on the accessibility of menstrual healthcare services through the infusion of technology in menstrual healthcare systems. The menstrual health industry in Nigeria faces certain structural, cultural, financial and societal challenges among others which hinders the sector’s efficiency to provide quality and accessible menstrual healthcare services to women in the rural and urban sectors of the continent. Alleviation of menstrual pain for women is the focus of the Mellopads venture. To improve the overall services offered by menstrual health care providers, we have identified a unique opportunity to ensure that menstruators in Nigeria get access to menstrual healthcare products and services to manage period cramps hence alleviating period related morbidity in the most convenient and dignified manner. Mellopads infuses traditional coping mechanisms for menstrual pain and modern technologies in creating its novel product; The Mello Heat Pad, a mobile electronic heating pad that provides the value-added functionality of hot water bottles and tender massages to the lower abdomen and back for menstrual pain. We also offer gender budgeting and consultation services relating to menstrual health education for high schools and public institutions.
