Flo Health is extending the reach of its Pass It On Project's reach to empower more women residing in regions where access to reliable and safe health information is constrained.
The Pass it On Project is a give-back program that offers free Flo Premium subscriptions to women living in countries with limited access to safe and credible health information.
In 2021, ex-minister of women affairs, Dame Pauline Tallen, said over 37 million Nigerian women of menstruating age do not have access to sanitary pads due to financial constraints.
At the core of the Pass It On Project is the sharing of knowledge across generations, nurturing a cycle of awareness to eliminate stigmas related to female health, ultimately leading to improved health and fertility outcomes.

Flo Health functions as an ovulation and period tracker app, fertility calendar, and pregnancy assistant while offering predictive insights into symptoms, ensuring users are well-prepared for the upcoming days.

Over the past year, Flo Health has been able to unleash the power of health literacy to over 10 million people with periods across 66 countries, including Nigeria, Haiti, and Nepal, through the Flo app at no cost to them.
Women in these 66 countries will get full Premium access, including detailed cycle and symptom pattern reports, expert content and 24/7 access to Flo Health's virtual health assistant.
