About Us

The LudoCare brand aims to positively transform the experience of hygiene care needs through the use of reusable modern sanitary products & relevant education. Ludo means love in the TjiKalanga language and that is what we desire to give, Mother Nature’s finest solutions. 

Our flagship product is the LudoCare Menstrual Pad, designed to afford young girls and women access to reasonably priced, safe, and eco-friendly menstrual management solutions. 

In Zimbabwe, menstrual health management for many women/girls is a nightmare considering the country’s continued economic problems and high unemployment rate. Research carried out by local organizations revealed how some girls have resorted to using unhygienic alternatives such as newspapers, rags, leaves, tissue paper and cow dung, among other products to manage their menstrual flow because they cannot afford disposable sanitary pads or tampons. In a survey conducted by the Ministry of Women and Youth Affairs in 2014, it revealed that 20 percent of girls miss school due to menstruation while 62 percent miss school due to lack of sanitary wear. 

The urgent need for sustainable menstrual hygiene management options establishes the LudoCare reusable menstrual products range as the ultimate solution to user’s needs. Our products are affordable, eco-friendly and contain no chemicals or gels. Ludocare is a household brand established with big ideas. Retail outlets, schools and hospitals need to be stocked with safe & affordable products that work well, feel great and do good for our environment.

 

 

I am a mom, a wife and a social entrepreneur with a full time job, passionate about improving the livelihoods of vulnerable groups in communities, particularly, women and girls. My product range is part of the many big ideas aimed at enabling the socio-economic participation of females, in the process restoring their pride and dignity. 

According to the UNFPA (United Nations Population Fund) “When girls do not have information and manage menstruation inadequately, they may experience negative health impacts, or may not fully enjoy their right to health. In addition, taboos or stigma around menstruation may prevent girls from seeking or receiving timely medical treatment related to abnormal bleeding or pain. Lack of knowledge around menarche and menstruation may increase anxiety or psychosocial stress, in particular for adolescent girls.” 

LudoCare goes beyond facilitating relevant hygiene care products, we also provide menstrual health management training including practicals on how to make and care for your pads!
