VICTORIA RALLY
Victoria Rally
​
Mission
The Victoria Rally aims to establish and equip independent workshops across Africa where women can be trained to make reusable sanitary pads—an essential step in the fight against menstrual poverty.
​
Training
Our workshops cover both hand and machine sewing, machine maintenance basics, business fundamentals, pricing strategies, and fabric selection—including affordable alternatives.
​
Sexual Education
Empowerment goes beyond skills. A key component of the VRally is to provide girls with essential sexual education. Understanding one’s body and self-worth is vital to every woman’s life.
To support this, we’ve created an informative newspaper designed to offer guidance, inspiration, and practical knowledge for women of all ages.

Reusable pads are a sustainable and cost-effective solution to menstrual poverty. Unlike disposable products, they last for years, reducing the financial burden on women and girls while also protecting the environment. Access to reusable pads helps girls stay in school, supports better health and hygiene, and can even create opportunities for income generation when women are trained to make and sell them.
