Dr Shela GentiShe Mogaila

CEO

"The onset of menarche can be a very daunting experience,especially when one doesn’t have the means to manage the menses. Like five million girls in South Africa and five hundred million girls in Africa,I also faced the same dilemma of either missing school when on my monthly periods or resort to unhygienic methods such as old rags,cloths or anything I could get my hands on. And I chose the latter but I promised myself that one day I will change this narrative,I will END PERIOD POVERTY IN AFRICA “ Mashela Mogaila( Mokgabudi) ,The Founder and Innovator Of GentiShe Menstrual Cup and GentiShe Biodegradable Pads.
