Closing the
Women’s Health Gap.
Across Africa, women’s health is under-funded, under-researched and too often unspoken. Elle International exists to change that — with safe, sustainable solutions, education that ends stigma, and the data to make women’s health count.
Women’s health is more than a product. It’s dignity, data and a fair shot at a future.
The challenge of women’s health in Africa transcends access to sanitary products and contraceptives. It is intertwined with cultural stigma, limited resources and educational gaps — and a systemic absence of data that undervalues the conditions women live with.
Elle International works across the whole picture: getting safe products into hands, normalising health in classrooms and communities, and building the evidence base that unlocks investment in women’s lives.
Four pillars, one outcome
Stigma, supply, education and evidence are connected problems. We treat them as one system.
Products
Body-safe, reusable menstrual and reproductive health products designed for real lives — and donated where they’re needed most.
Education
Workshops that end stigma and put girls back in school — with confidence, facts and language for their own bodies.
Care & access
Pathways to reproductive care, diagnostics and information — meeting women where the health system doesn’t reach.
Data & research
Closing the data gap so women’s health conditions are counted, understood and finally funded at scale.
