70%
“of menstruating women and girls in Cameroon lack access to regular, basic sanitation and essential menstrual care products.”
When essentials become unaffordable, dignity becomes a privilege.
01
HIGH COST RELATIVE TO INCOME
A pack of 10 standard disposable sanitary pads typically costs between 600 and 850 XAF ($0.99 to $1.31 USD). Managing a full cycle requires multiple packs, resulting in an average monthly expense of roughly 2,100 XAF ($3.50 USD).
02
EXTREME FINANCIAL VULNERABILITY
Over 51% of women in Cameroon live below the global poverty line of $2.15 a day, while the country's formal monthly minimum wage is 41,875 XAF ($68.70 USD).
03
THE LUXURY TAX BURDEN
Menstrual hygiene items are heavily taxed in Cameroon, which increases retail prices and makes access more difficult for vulnerable women and girls.
Statistics and figures presented in this section are based on the reference sources reviewed by WEYI Care. Figures should be independently verified before being used in formal publications, investor materials, press releases, or fundraising campaigns.
WEYI Care was created to provide women with premium period-care solutions while building toward a larger mission: helping women and girls who lack access to basic menstrual essentials.
Through the WEYI Care Foundation, we aim to contribute to menstrual dignity, education, accessibility, and community support — beginning with communities that are closest to our story.
WEYI Care exists so that no woman's period determines what she can do, where she can go, or how she feels about herself. The WEYI Care Foundation extends that promise to women for whom access to safe period care is not a given — funding products, education and community partnerships until dignity is the default, not the exception.
Around the world, period dignity is still not a guarantee. Too many women manage their periods with whatever they can find, in silence, and pay for it in school days, work days and self-respect. We were not willing to build a premium brand on that reality without answering it.
