Sanitary Pad Donation Program for Schools: The Niceday Sichuan Campus Project

Niceday donated organic cotton sanitary pads to female students and teachers at several compulsory education schools in Sichuan Province, covering a six-month supply period. This page explains what was supplied, why that product specification was selected, and what institutional buyers usually need to confirm before running a similar program.

What the Sichuan campus donation covered

The program was designed as a continuous supply rather than a one-time handover, so that recipients had stable access across a full school term cycle.

• Recipients: female students and teaching staff at compulsory education schools
• Location: Sichuan Province, China
• Supply period: six months of continuous supply
• Product: organic cotton top sheet sanitary pads, daily and regular flow specifications
• Delivery: direct handover to participating schools for internal distribution

Feedback collected from participating schools focused on two practical points: the surface material felt soft in use, and the absence of added fragrance made the product easier for schools to distribute without checking individual sensitivities.

Why organic cotton was selected for this program

Donation programs for schools are reviewed by teachers, school administrators and often parents before distribution. That review process usually focuses on materials and documentation rather than product marketing. Organic cotton was selected for three practical reasons:

• Simple material story. An organic cotton top sheet is easy to explain to schools and parents without technical background.
• Fragrance-free specification. No added fragrance reduces the number of questions schools need to answer during distribution.
• No fluorescent brightening agents. This is a documented Niceday production standard and is often the first item institutional reviewers ask about.

The pads are positioned as a soft-touch, comfort-focused product. Niceday does not present them as a medical or therapeutic product, and program materials should not describe them that way either.

Product specification used

What institutional buyers should confirm before a donation program

NGOs, foundations, government agencies and school systems run a different sourcing process from commercial brands. Based on our experience with donation and tender projects, these are the points that usually need to be settled first:

1. Total volume and supply period. A six-month or twelve-month continuous supply is planned differently from a single shipment.
2. Specification per recipient group. School programs often need daily and regular lengths rather than a full product range.
3. Documentation required. Confirm which certificates and test reports the funding body or customs authority needs before production starts.
4. Packaging and labelling rules. Donor logos, "not for resale" marking, and local language labelling all affect artwork lead time.
5. Delivery schedule. Split deliveries across the program period usually need to be agreed at order stage, not later.
6. Budget structure. Unit cost, packaging cost and freight should be quoted separately so the program budget stays clear.

How Niceday supports donation and tender programs

• Daily capacity of 9.8 million pieces, which supports large single-batch program volumes
• Export experience across 54+ countries, including institutional and government shipments
• MOQ 300,000 pieces per SKU; lead time 35–40 days after specification and artwork confirmation
• Certification documents and third-party test reports available for procurement review
