Wastemat Zambia Limited

Empowered girls become unstoppable women.

This July we celebrate the power of giving girls the tools to thrive.

At Wastemat Zambia Limited we know that when a girl can manage her period with dignity, she stays in school, builds confidence, and grows into a woman who leads, uplifts, and inspires.

Every pad, every conversation, every bit of support matters. Because when we empower girls, we shape a future filled with unstoppable women.

Empowering the Next Generation: Menstrual Hygiene Education in Action!

At Wastemat Zambia, we believe that no girl should have to pause her education or her dreams because of her period.
We recently had the incredible privilege of hosting a Menstrual Hygiene Education Programme at Olympafrica, where we connected with inspiring young girls to break the stigma surrounding menstruation, share vital health education, and distribute our Vive Reusable Sanitary Pads!

A massive thank you to our partners and the amazing team at Olympafrica for making this session possible.

Together, we are stepping closer to a world where menstrual hygiene is a right, not a privilege.
Let’s keep supporting her health, her walk, and her journey.

We loved connecting with so many of you at our recent exhibition showcase! The Wastemat Zambia team was proud to feature Vive Reusable Sanitary Pads alongside supporting partners like the Mastercard Foundation, Africa Health Collaborative, Amref Health Africa, and Zanaco.
Why make the switch to Vive?
• Eco-Friendly: Drastically cuts down on plastic waste.
• Budget-Friendly: Washable and reusable, saving you money every month.
• Maximum Comfort: Soft, highly absorbent, and designed to keep you feeling confident all day.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth to chat and learn how we are redefining menstrual health in Zambia!

ON THE AIR: Tackling the Plastic Crisis
We recently sat down for an interview to discuss a massive challenge: plastic pollution.
Millions of tons of plastic waste choke our landfills and waterways every year. A hidden part of this crisis is conventional sanitary pads, which are made of up to 90% plastic and take centuries to break down.
That is why switching to reusable pads is such a game-changer. By choosing washable, eco-friendly alternatives like Vive Reusable Sanitary Pads we can divert thousands of tons of non-biodegradable waste from our environment while providing sustainable, dignified care.
At Wastemat, we are focused on driving a circular economy by turning waste into sustainable assets. By rethinking how we consume and upcycle materials, we can protect our environment and support our communities.
Let’s reduce plastic waste and build a cleaner, greener future together!
Thank you ZNBC for teaming up with us to share this important conversation!

Wastemat Zambia Limited, we believe that every woman and girl deserves to navigate her menstrual cycle with absolute dignity, comfort and confidence—without it costing the earth or breaking the bank.

We are thrilled to showcase our Vive Reusable Sanitary Pads sustainable solution designed locally to tackle period poverty, eliminate single-use plastic waste, and provide premium personal comfort.

Today is Global Menstrual Hygiene Day, and at Wastemat Zambia Limited, this day holds a profound meaning.
Did you know many girls in peri-urban and rural areas walk up to 5km to school while menstruating without adequate supplies? This is why our campaign, “Her Health, Her Walk, Her Journey,” exists. We are on a mission to put 100,000 First Ladies Hampers of Hope (packed with sustainable Vive reusable pads and essentials) into the hands of those who need them most.
We have already saved millions of disposable pads from landfills and empowered thousands of young women. But the journey doesn't stop here.
Menstruation should never cost a girl her education or her self-worth. Let’s break the stigma, protect our planet, and uplift our girls. 🩸
