KitokoMakeup believes that true beauty and confidence comes from within. We believe that it takes a village to raise a child. We believe in raising the girl child to be a strong, independent and self-assured woman no matter her condition or situation. Menstruation is a subject that is still taboo in many developing countries. In this day and age, we should be able to address feminine hygiene without stigma or shame. The lack of access to menstrual sanitation is a serious problem that not only concerns, but deeply affects young girls and women in many parts of Africa. It is a challenging situation that negatively affects women’s psychological health, dignity and keeps many girls out of school. We want to working on empowering women through makeup. One of the ways that we give back and heighten awareness is by sending makeup to women who have been through Domestic Violence and Abuse in the Congo and Uganda. This is the humanitarian and philanthropic approach to our brand, which will aid women by empowering them to see the beauty through ugliness of the violence, torment and abuse they have suffered. KitokoMakeup is committed to in giving back to communities by offering free reusable sanitary pads to women and girls residing in different villages across Africa. We have partnered with various registered and trusted associations and NGO's to make this happen.
