WHY DOES SIYAKUNAKEKELA NOT DO PAD DRIVES?
Siyakunakekela is acutely aware of our ecological footprint, therefore we only distribute biodegradable sanitary pads into areas in need.
Many sanitary pads are manufactured using materials such as super absorbent polymers, non biodegradableplastic, glue etc. due to which they take up to 500 - 800 years to decompose
