How it all started


Founded from a university non-profit initiative promoting women in tech, Mila emerged to address the pressing need for menstrual care products. Recognizing the barriers faced by underprivileged young women, Mila expanded its mission, giving birth to Mila Giving—a nonprofit dedicated to promoting menstrual equity and access to quality products. Today, Mila and Mila Giving stand as beacons of empowerment, weaving stories of dignity, confidence, and social impact.

Once upon a time, in the bustling halls of a university, passionate individuals embarked on a journey to make a difference. They founded a non-profit organization with a vision to empower women in the tech industry in Africa, believing in the transformative power of education and opportunity. As the organization flourished, it became a beacon of hope for young women striving to break barriers and pursue their dreams.

However, amidst the triumphs and successes, a silent yet pressing need emerged – access to essential feminine care products. It was a simple necessity often overlooked, but for many young women, it became a barrier to their education and empowerment. Determined to bridge this gap, the seeds of Mila were sown.

Mila was born from a desire to provide high-quality and affordable care products to underprivileged young women. What started as a mission to empower through education expanded into a movement for menstrual equity and dignity. As Mila's brand flourished, so did its impact. The stories of gratitude and empowerment from those touched by Mila's products fueled a deeper purpose – to give back in a meaningful and impactful way.

Thus, Mila Giving came into existence, a testament to the enduring commitment to social responsibility and making a tangible difference in the lives of others. Through Mila Giving, the journey continues, with a focus on promoting menstrual equity, education, and access to quality products for individuals and communities in need. The story of Mila is one of compassion, resilience, and a vision for a future where every person can manage menstruation with dignity, confidence, and health.

As Mila looks towards the future, the path is clear – to inspire, empower, and create lasting change. With every product sold and every initiative undertaken, Mila and Mila Giving are weaving a story of hope, empowerment, and compassion, one period at a time.
