You can support an East African business and a local manufacturer through the purchase of AFRIpads Underwear. The East African economy has been devastated by COVID-19. We’ve seen friends, family and our favourite local businesses lose so much, and so fast.

It will maintain local employment, encourage foreign investment and enhance government support.
