A social enterprise that is increasing access to menstrual, maternal and child health information and products in Rwanda
About us
Kosmotive was founded in 2014 to improve maternal and child health in Rwanda. We save lives by increasing access to menstrual, maternal and child health information and products to people who currently don't have access to it, using publication of Cosmos Magazine, KosmoHealth App, Storytelling and Socio-economic empowerment for marginalized women in Rwanda through our Incubator making KosmoPads reusable sanitary pads and Maternal clothing. Cosmos Magazine is a print and online periodical that offers interesting child and maternal health and lifestyle information to young women and mothers in Rwanda. Launched in June 2014, it provides parenting advice for a wide net of readership, including fathers, young people and anyone interested in the wellbeing of families. KosmoHealth App is a mobile resource for pregnant women seeking urgent care and home-based healthcare services. Key features include geolocation to help users search for nearby doctors and specialists, a call button for first aid support (urgent intervention) and access to home-based antenatal care. The app allows users to register at any point in their pregnancy and receive advice and alert messages related to their pregnancy term. Kadablah Collection is a Maternity and Nursing Wear Brand that uses eco-friendly textiles to make clothing, shoes, and accessories for pregnant women and breastfeeding moms. We train women to work with us in producing Kadablah products and share with them important information about safe pregnancy, safe birth, child development and all about parenting. KosmoPads is our initiative to produce eco-friendly, cost-effective, super absorbent sanitary pads for young women and girls to not only discuss their challenges about menstruation, but also learn how to make pads for themselves and other school girls. As girls break the silence about menstruation and benefit financially from making and selling pads, they will come to see their periods as a source of pride and power.

Proud to see powerful voices breaking the silence on menstrual health through art and poetry. What an inspiring initiative pushing for a period-positive world! #MenstrualHygieneDay2024 #BreakingStigma
📷 Swipe to see the faces behind the verses with the voices that Break the Silence, Celebrate the changemakers through poetry, it’s their day! Menstruation has been wrapped in whispers and shame for too long. But what happens when poetry meets purpose? You get voices that challenge stigma, ignite conversations, and push for a period-friendly world! Last #MenstrualHygieneDay2024, we were honored to stand alongside seven incredible poets, women and men who used their artistry to break the silence on menstrual health. Their words carried power, their performances sparked reflection, and their voices turned taboos into topics that deserve the spotlight. Menstrual health is not just a women’s issue—it’s a human rights issue. Poets, writers, storytellers, your voices matter! Join the movement. Use your words to educate, advocate, and inspire change. #WorldPoetryDay #PoetryForChange #BreakTheStigma #MenstrualHealthMatters #UseYourVoice #InspireChange #KosmotiveCares #EndPeriodPoverty
