Empowering Women, Transforming Lives

At Nura Social Enterprise, we are dedicated to closing the significant gap in access to high-quality menstrual health products and essential Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) services for underserved communities across Ethiopia. We recognize that these resources are not just products; they are vital necessities that profoundly affect the health and well-being of individuals and communities. Our innovative, women-led distribution model is central to our mission, ensuring that essential products reach those most in need while empowering women and youth to seize entrepreneurial opportunities within their communities.

Nura dismantles barriers related to stigma, affordability, and cultural norms by combining trusted human engagement with advanced automated tools. Female Sales Agents lead private, door-to-door outreach, utilizing the DQ Selling Method (Problem → Cost → Solution → Value) to transform transactions into shame-free conversations that achieve a 78% sustained adoption rate. Solar-powered kiosks located at schools, markets, and water points enhance visibility and education, establishing safe community hubs for awareness, peer learning, and product adoption. Flexible credit and installment payment options through savings groups and mobile money ensure that even the lowest-income families can reliably access dignity-enhancing WASH and menstrual health solutions.

By fostering this entrepreneurial spirit, we are cultivating sustainable, positive change in rural areas, enabling communities to thrive while ensuring vital health resources are accessible to all. Our approach emphasizes not only immediate assistance but also the foundation for ongoing empowerment and growth. We believe that through our collaborative efforts, we can create a healthier, more equitable future for everyone in these communities. Together, we envision a day when no one suffers from a lack of menstrual health products or adequate sanitation and when everyone can access the resources necessary to lead healthy, fulfilling lives.
