About Anbu Gynaecare
Period care that's kind to you and the planet
Our Story
Anbu Gynaecare was founded in 2024 in Enugu, Nigeria, by four medical students who saw a pressing need: millions of women lacked access to safe, affordable, and environmentally friendly menstrual products.
The name "Anbu" means "love" in Tamil, reflecting our commitment to caring for women, communities, and our planet. We've started with a simple mission: create 100% biodegradable sanitary pads that decompose naturally without harming the environment and are much more affordable.
Mission & Vision
Our Mission
To provide accessible, affordable, and eco-friendly menstrual care while empowering women through education, technology, and community support. We're committed to eliminating period poverty and environmental waste across Nigeria.
Our Vision
A Nigeria where every woman has access to safe menstrual products, accurate health information, and a supportive community. Where periods are sustainable, stigma-free, and celebrated as a natural part of life.
Our Core Values
- Sustainability First — every decision prioritizes environmental impact.
- Women-Centered Care — comfort, dignity, and health come first.
- Community Impact — fair wages, jobs, and product donations to underserved communities.
- Education & Empowerment — accurate, accessible menstrual health education to break stigma.
