Collaboration Between Ontex and Bostik Sends Feminine Care Products to Girls in Zambia
Bostik’s product line includes adhesives for the production of disposable hygiene articles, and many employees are familiar with the issue of “period poverty.”
Maydred Siamuzwe, an accountant with Bostik’s UK team, put a donation box in her workplace cafeteria in December 2019, hoping to gather packets of feminine hygiene products for girls in her hometown near Lusaka, Zambia. Siamuzwe planned to deliver whatever she collected to a small charity-run school for girls when she visited her family for the holidays.
