A group of young female entrepreneurs who are tackling period poverty with underwear that costs just £4 have won a prestigious business award.
Sarah Bailey, Aurusha Kharas and Anushka Mahesh, all aged 22, hope their period pants will help improve menstrual hygiene across the developing world.
Their company, The Even Project, has developed re-usable underwear for just a fraction of the current typical cost of £27.
The product does not launch until March 2025, but they already have 44,000 pre-orders from NGOs, refugee camps, and humanitarian organisations.
Now they have scooped £15,000 as one of the winners of the Santander X UK Awards 2024.
