PridePads Africa’s 2025 Impact Report
We are thrilled to share highlights from a banner year of fundraising in 2025! Our end-of-year campaign, Period Power: Supporting Girls’ Education with Sustainable Menstruation, brought in a remarkable $88,604.19. Your generous donations allowed us to once again provide free pads at the monthly menstrual health education seminars our Cameroon team holds. Thank you.
We’ve featured our many successes in 2025 in our Annual Impact Report, but we’ll give you a few highlights below:
For the International Day of the Girl Child on October 15, our Ngaoundéré team joined FOJEFAD’s celebration themed “The girl that I am, the change I wish, the girl on the front line of crises.” During the event, PridePads presented on menstrual hygiene and distributed pads to 80 young participants.
In November, PridePads celebrated the launch of our first local 24/7 Free Period Pantry at YWCA Boulder County—modeled after a Little Free Library with community-donated pads and tampons. The motto, "Take what you need—with pride," brings our global mission home through dignity and sustainability.
Co-Founder Dr. Ajume Wingo Won the Active Ally Award: We celebrated PridePads co-founder Dr. Ajume H. Wingo receiving YWCA Boulder County’s Active Ally Award for championing women and girls. His visionary leadership has transformed menstrual equality in Cameroon through eco-friendly pads and empowering education—huge congratulations, Dr. Wingo!
The 5th Annual Une Nuit Pour Les Filles Raised $57K+: The completely sold-out event raised $57,686.50 for PridePads Africa, with $22,500 in sponsorships, $6,800 from a 50+ item silent auction, and a record-breaking $19,875 paddle raise. Heartfelt thanks to our generous supporters. (Be sure to get your tickets early this year.)
