Funding For Looop Can

There are about 26 million people who fled their countries due to conflict, violence, or war. Note that women suffer more vulnerabilities such as widespread gender-based violence and almost 60% of female refugees suffer period poverty problems as they rather spend their funding on food or sacrifice pads for baby diapers.

 

Instead of creating a completely new kit out of scratch, Looop Can uses recycled steel cans so that the washing container is easily replaceable. The pad’s design uses bamboo terry as the contact layer, bamboo fleece as the absorption layer and PUL as the leak proof layer as they are anti-odour, anti-bacterial and eco-friendly, which makes them less likely to cause skin allergies.

 

You add the used pad in. Then you add the baking soda stored inside the container and add water until the level where the packaging indicates. Screw the cap, immerse the screw container and spin to mix the baking soda and water. Wait at least 30 minutes until the period blood disintegrates, then use the container to scrub the bloodstain. Rinse and scrub for 3 times and one pad can be cleaned with just 500 ml of water.

 

We are asking for funding so that we can begin to manufacture our product and get it into the hands of needy refugee women. With your contribution refugee women will be provided with a safe and sanitary female hygenic kit that they can use in private to clean their menstral pads. Allowing them to return to normal life because they can now safetly cope with their periods.

We also use refugee labor in order to manufacture the pads, which provides jobs to refugee women struggling to provide for they're families. We pay them livable wages which ensures they are able to provide the basic necessities to their families, creating a new sense of dignity for these women who have been stripped of everything they once knew.
