He identified poor menstrual hygiene as one of the key issues affecting many Ghanaian women.

The lack of adequate knowledge on the effects of poor menstrual hygiene coupled with the inability of street hawkers and market women to afford the now very costly sanitary pads is what moved him to embark on this project called #pads4street.

The day was climaxed with great performances from popular Ghanaian dancers Dancegod Lloyd and Afronitaa who also took turns to engage the market women in some fun choreographic routines

In the end, the market women admitted to being well educated and enlightened about menstrual hygiene and were grateful for the sanitary pads they received.
