Womanon NPC is a women’s health organisation provisioning access to safe, affordable, and sustainable solutions in women’s health, while empowering women through education and socio-economic inclusion.
The challenge of women’s health transcends mere access to sanitary products and contraceptives; it’s a multifaceted issue intertwined with cultural stigma, limited resources, and educational gaps. Many women and girls face insurmountable obstacles in managing their health due to the unavailability of affordable, sustainable, and safe products, diagnostics, and treatments. This scarcity not only impacts their physical well-being but also deters their educational pursuits and economic participation.
Health burdens for women are systematically underestimated, with an absence of data that exclude or undervalue important conditions. Women face barriers to care, diagnosis, and treatment. In addition, there has been lower investment in women’s health conditions relative to their prevalence, reinforcing a cycle of weaker scientific understanding about women’s bodies and limited data to de-risk new investment.
Womanon’s efforts are therefore about recognising the problem in the full context of health, fostering an environment where women’s health is normalised, integrated into societal discourse, and women are provided with the care they need. Through this holistic approach, we catalyse positive social change, uplift communities, and contribute to gender equality and women’s empowerment.
Our purpose is to break down barriers to women’s well-being across the globe and in so doing creating opportunities for South Africa from the emergence of industries that arise from the convergence of technology, harnessing the transformative potential for economic and societal benefit.
Womanon aspires to be a global leader in women’s health.
In everything we do is a commitment to make a difference to uplift the health of women and girls, to reduce suffering and improve quality of life.
We envision a world where every woman has access to the resources, education, and tools necessary to take control of her health, no matter her life stage or circumstances.
To empower women through comprehensive health education, sustainable solutions, and innovative technologies, enabling them to live healthier, more fulfilling lives.
To paraphrase Robert F. Kennedy, at Womanon we believe that each time we stand up for an ideal, or act to improve the lot of others, or strike out against injustice, we send forth a tiny ripple of hope, and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.
We have a mission to advance access to safe, sustainable, and affordable solutions for women’s health, while empowering women through education and socio-economic inclusion. To support this mission, we continuously follow societal developments and participate in initiatives and debates on issues related to women’s health, and a sustainable and circular society.
Improving well-being for people and societies.
We believe that women’s health is an important enabler of a dignified life. It is a simple fact, but one full of complex challenges, including taboos, and stigmas. That is why we are committed to breaking barriers, as we purposefully contribute to healthier and more inclusive societies.
As we touch people’s lives, it is only natural for us to recognise, understand and serve the diverse needs of women and girls, while simultaneously creating an organisational culture with a strong sense of belonging and engagement.
At Womanon, we are committed to conducting our business in a responsible way and contributing to sustainable and inclusive societies. We are determined to offer the highest quality products and services that set new standards, and to provide easily accessible, and transparent information.
We partner and collaborate with Non-Governmental Organisations, Inter Governmental Organisations, Government, and with institutions across academia and industry, where there is an alignment of values and principles and shared vision for collective impact.
