Kasha is an e-commerce platform improving women’s access to health, hygiene, and self-care products in East Africa. The company sells a range of menstrual care products, contraceptives, pharmaceuticals, and beauty products via its own platform. Kasha aims to act as a trusted source of information around women’s products and operates in close cooperation with selected health partners. Kasha’s products and services are accessible through the web platform, as well as with a basic phone, and via an agent network to serve women in rural areas. Last-mile delivery to customers is handled confidentially. Kasha was first founded in 2016 in Rwanda and has since expanded to Kenya. The company has delivered over 830,000 products to over 100,000 consumers, with over 80,000 of which are direct customers and 75% of which are low-income. With Finnfund’s investment Kasha looks to grow its presence in current markets as well as expand and pilot its concept in three new countries in Africa.
