Nyungu Afrika

Nyungu Afrika is a women-led startup creating low-cost, biodegradable menstrual hygiene products from natural agricultural waste — including pineapple leaves and corn husks — as a sustainable alternative to conventional disposable pads that contribute to global waste. The company partners with local farmers, market vendors, and community members across its supply chain. Products are designed to be both environmentally friendly and economically accessible, targeting women and girls in underserved markets across Africa.
