SUPPORT & INCUBATE Diana Sierra RECIPIENT: HALCYON FELLOWSHIP Diana Sierra built her career in industrial design, working for companies like Nike, Panasonic, and Energizer. When stationed in Uganda she was moved by the girls she met, who had stopped attending school due to a lack of menstrual protection, so she designed a prototype sanitary pad out of a mosquito net and an umbrella. As Diana was deciding whether to commit herself to this work fulltime, she was accepted into the first Halcyon cohort, committing herself to building and scaling this product through her new company, BeGirl. While in the program, she tested and tailored her products for different regions of Africa, raised working capital and built critical partnerships for distribution. As of June 2015, Be Girl has supplied 3,000+ girls with 4,095 pads, resulting in 2,700 girls reporting decreased anxiety and physical discomfort around menstruation and increasing participation in school by 2,850 girls. 4
