Background

TEKKI Studio was created with the mission to develop useful product brands that provide effective and specific solutions to niche problems in Africa. The founders noticed that many niche problems are often neglected by large brands and companies, despite being crucial and affecting a significant portion of the population. One such problem is painful periods, which affects one in two women. From the age of 13, some women begin to experience these pains. The team decided that this niche problem deserved an effective solution, leading them to develop a heated belt with linseed that relieves menstrual pain and allows women who experience it to live better during their period. This brand is called Amani and is one of TEKKI Studio's brands.

Problem

The problem was the lack of effective solutions for menstrual pain relief in Africa. Many women suffer from this condition, but there were no products on the market specifically designed for them. Women had to rely on traditional remedies or medication, which were not always effective or safe. There was a need for a product that could provide reliable relief without side effects.

Solution

The team developed Amani, a heated belt made with linseed that provides natural relief from menstrual pain. The belt can be worn discreetly under clothing and heats up quickly when activated by microwave or hot water. The heat helps to relax muscles and reduce cramps, providing fast relief from pain without any side effects. The belt is reusable and can last for years, making it an affordable solution for many women.
