PROJECT DIRECTOR

“A quality product for women & girls to improve their menstrual health management. Everyone has the right to dignity.”

Glenda has been a champion for safe, accessible, quality products for Menstrual Health Management for almost 20 years. She started Mpower Menstrual Cups as a small business in 2008, manufacturing Mcups locally in Cape Town and building the business. Her teaching qualification and passion for education developed the education side of the business. She expanded Mpowercups to incorporate outreaches / corporate CSI projects, women’s health, sexual and reproductive health and puberty consulting to NGOs at grassroots level.

Her passion to empower women and girls and to keep them in work and school lead her to dream of a Trust that empowers girls and women with Mcups and improves menstrual health management in low-income settings.

A dream that is becoming a reality. This is the Mcup Project.

Tiamo joined the Mcup Project from the get-go and is our training co-ordinator as well as an integral part of the core project setup team. She is passionate about bringing dignity to women and girls, educating about menstrual wellbeing and providing support to all of our project recipients, their teachers and leaders. She is an active community mentor in one of the communities we serve.

Libongwe is trained in SRHR (Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights) and in the facilitation of schoolgirl groups, to engage, share and educate about all aspects of menstrual health. She is making the women and girls she works with feel seen, heard and safe.

Athi joined the Mcup Project as a dedicated and committed SRHR facilitator (Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights) who strives for women and girls to have dignity and a healthy future. She is passionate about mentoring and supporting girls in sport, and is working in her personal capacity in her own community.
