MEET THE FOUNDER
The woman behind
WEYI Care.
“Built from personal experience. Created for women everywhere.”
Meet Omaghen Anyafor Tatoh
“My name is Omaghen Anyafor Tatoh, and I was born on October 9, 2003, in Bamenda, in the Northwest Region of Cameroon. I come from Oshie Village, where I spent my early years growing up and attending school.”
“WEYI” means “woman” in my native Oshie language.
It started with my own experience.
“When I was 13 years old, I experienced my first period. From the very beginning, my periods were extremely heavy. I was told that it was simply because I was experiencing my period for the first time and that, with time, things would become easier.”
“But they never did.”
“I continued to experience heavy periods, and managing them became a constant challenge. I often had to double up on pads, yet I could still experience leaks. The embarrassment, discomfort, and anxiety that came with that experience stayed with me.”
“My own experience made me realize that I could not be the only woman going through this.”
A personal experience became a bigger purpose.
“I began thinking about the many women who experience the same challenges but may not have access to products that give them the comfort, protection, and confidence they deserve.”
“WEYI Care was born from that realization.”
“I wanted to create a premium period-care brand that does more than provide a product. I wanted to create something that makes women feel confident, comfortable, protected, and cared for during their periods.”
Where I come from matters.
“Growing up in Oshie Village shaped the way I see access, opportunity, and community.”
“I grew up seeing families who struggled to afford basic necessities. For many girls and women, even something as simple as menstrual products can be difficult to access.”
“When period essentials are unaffordable or unavailable, women and girls are sometimes forced to rely on whatever materials they have available.”
“That reality has never left me.”
More than period care.
“My vision for WEYI Care is to build a premium period-care brand that serves women everywhere while also creating opportunities to give back to communities where access to menstrual essentials remains a challenge.”
“I want WEYI Care to represent confidence, dignity, comfort, and care.”
“And as WEYI grows, I want our impact to grow with it.”
70%
“of menstruating women and girls in Cameroon lack access to regular, basic sanitation and essential menstrual care products.”
This is bigger than my personal experience. It is about the women and girls who continue to navigate their periods without consistent access to basic menstrual essentials. Growing up in Oshie Village, Cameroon, this reality is deeply personal to me.
I created WEYI from an experience I personally understand — because every woman deserves to experience her period with confidence, dignity, and comfort.
