International Youth Day 2026: Investing in Young People, One Reusable Pad at a Time

12th August 2026

Every young person deserves the chance to learn, grow and achieve their potential. This International Youth Day, we’re celebrating the resilience, ambition and determination of young people across the world – and recognising that something as simple as access to period products can make a life-changing difference.

At Power Of Pads, we work alongside trusted partners in Kenya to provide reusable period pads and menstrual health education to schoolgirls. For too many girls, a lack of affordable period products means missed lessons, lost confidence and barriers to education. By providing a reusable pad kit that can last for several years, we’re helping girls stay in school, participate fully in class and look towards a brighter future. It’s about far more than a period product – it’s about dignity, opportunity and equality.

International Youth Day reminds us that when we invest in young people, we invest in stronger communities and a better future for everyone. Every girl who stays in school is another young person with the opportunity to fulfil her potential and inspire others.

Thank you to everyone who supports Power Of Pads. Together, we’re helping young women build brighter futures, one reusable pad at a time.
