PROJECT DIGNITY
Made in Nigeria . Designed for Dignity . Built for Africa.
Combining inclusive design, sustainable manufacturing and African production, Project Dignity aims to improve access to essential health and hygiene products while creating skilled employment and export opportunities.
Innovative. Inclusive. Sustainable. Made in Nigeria. For Africa. For the World.
THE FOUR PRODUCTS
Four Product Families . One Purpose: Dignity
Reusable Period Underwear
Washable, reusable protection designed to provide comfort, security and a sustainable alternative to disposable menstrual products.
Women’s Reusable Incontinence Underwear
Discreet reusable protection designed around comfort, confidence and dignity.
Adaptive Front-Fastening Underwear
Clip-Knix’s innovative front-fastening design reduces the need for bending and stretching and can be put on while sitting, standing or lying down.
Adaptive Period & Incontinence Underwear
Combining reusable absorbent protection with accessible front-fastening design for people who may find conventional underwear difficult to use.
THE PROBLEM
Dignity Should Not Be Disposable
Across Africa, access to affordable menstrual and incontinence products remains a significant challenge. Disposable products also create an ongoing household cost and substantial waste.
For people with disabilities, reduced mobility, older people and those recovering from surgery, conventional underwear can present another challenge: simply putting it on independently.
Project Dignity addresses both.
The goal is not merely to manufacture underwear. It is to manufacture dignity, independence, sustainability and choice at scale.
THE FACTORY
A World-Class Manufacturing Vision for Nigeria
Project Dignity is being developed as a modern manufacturing operation designed for domestic Nigerian demand, regional African markets and international export.
The planned facility incorporates production, quality control, warehousing, training, administration, staff welfare, accessibility and environmental considerations.
Underwear Designed Around the Person
Conventional underwear generally requires the wearer to step into it and pull it upwards.
Clip-Knix approaches the problem differently.
Our adaptive front-fastening concept is designed to reduce unnecessary bending and stretching and allow the garment to be put on while sitting, standing or lying down.
That makes the design particularly relevant to people with reduced mobility, older people, post-operative patients and others who may require greater accessibility.
