Softcare FM Manufacturing Ltd strengthens National Menstrual Health drive through Vice-Presidential Initiative

Softcare FM Manufacturing Limited Company, a leading Ghana-based manufacturer of hygiene products, continues to demonstrate its commitment to public health, quality manufacturing, and social responsibility through its support for national menstrual health initiatives and women’s empowerment programmes.
In February, in collaboration with the Office of the Vice President, 200 boxes of Softcare sanitary pads have been delivered to Cabfix Ladies FC, a club competing in the Greater Accra Regional Football Association (GARFA) Women’s Division One League. The donation expands an earlier consignment of 100 boxes, which had been presented on behalf of the Vice President by Dr. Miriam Rahinatu Iddrisu, Social Policy Advisor, representing Dr. Ofosu Ampofo, Senior Political Advisor to the Vice President.
The initiative, supported by Softcare as a partner for women’s health and empowerment, reflects a growing national effort to ensure that menstrual health does not hinder the participation of young girls in education, sports, and community life. Following the initial presentation, Cabfix Ladies FC demonstrated commendable leadership by extending the support with Softcare sanitary pads products to female footballers across several regions.

Beneficiary clubs included teams participating in the FIFA U-15 Girls Regional Colts League in the Greater Accra and Eastern Regions, as well as clubs in the Northern and Upper West Regions. Teams competing in the GARFA Women’s Division One League also received Softcare sanitary products through the distribution exercise.
In late February, a new consignment of Softcare sanitary pad products was distributed under the initiative, further expanding its the reach and supporting young female athletes at both grassroots and competitive levels throughout the country. The programme forms part of the Government of Ghana’s Free Sanitary Pad for Girls in Schools Initiative, officially launched by President John Dramani Mahama on April 24, 2025, in Mamprobi, Accra. Through this initiative, Softcare joins national efforts to ensure that menstruation never becomes a barrier to education, participation in sports, or personal development.

Softcare FM Manufacturing Limited Company’s involvement in these initiatives reflect the company’s broader commitment to national development and responsible manufacturing.

The company operates under internationally recognized management systems, certified to ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety) standards, ensuring consistent product quality, environmentally responsible operations, and safe working environments.
In addition, Softcare maintains strict compliance with Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) regulatory requirements and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards, reflecting its dedication to producing safe, high-quality hygiene products for Ghanaian consumers.

Softcare’s industry leadership is further reflected in its participation in national standards development. A representative of the company serves on the Ghana Standards Authority’s (GSA) Sub-Committee on Menstrual and Incontinence Products, contributing technical expertise to the formulation and improvement of national standards governing sanitary and hygiene products.

Through a combination of higher-class manufacturing standards, regulatory compliance, and meaningful corporate social responsibility initiatives, Softcare continues to play an important role in promoting menstrual health awareness, supporting young women in sports, and contributing to Ghana’s broader goals of public health, gender equality, and inclusive development.

Cabfix Ladies FC expressed gratitude to the Office of the Vice President and partners involved in the programme, reaffirming their commitment to using football as a platform to empower girls, promote health awareness, and advance the development of women’s football across Ghana.
As Ghana advances national efforts to improve menstrual health and dignity for girls and women, Softcare remains proud to support initiatives that empower communities and create lasting social impact.
