Our Impact
Since being established in late 2020 and becoming operational in February 2021, SPP has created over 200 jobs and produced and distributed more than 310,000 Safepad Packs to women and girls across Afghanistan in partnership with non-profit organisations. SPP’s work plays a crucial role in economically empowering the women and girls who are struggling to support their families financially and are vulnerable to various forms of violence and discrimination. At SPP, 95% of the women employees serve as the primary breadwinners for their households. SPP’s employment program for women benefits them beyond the financial aspect. SPP generates income for vulnerable families while the product preserves dignity and builds confidence. Safepad raises awareness about menstrual hygiene management (MHM) and addresses period poverty through educational materials and social marketing of Safepad.
SPP has proven itself to be a successful business model – local production for local consumption – with opportunities for growth and scale-up, despite the challenging environment. Now, we aim to replicate this model in other provinces of Afghanistan in partnership with development agencies.

“After losing her husband, Gul Bushra was left alone with six children, the youngest just a month old. Desperate and on the verge of giving her baby away to feed the rest of the children, a job at SPP changed everything. Today, she is filled with love and can’t imagine being without her daughter.”
