Idea

LEGACY is an industrial hygiene product startup based in Dakar, Senegal, focused on designing and producing innovative, locally made items such as fruity-scented handkerchiefs, baby diapers, and sanitary towels. With Senegal’s rapidly growing, youthful population and high unemployment rates, the project aims not only to offer high-quality hygiene products but also to generate substantial employment and stimulate local industry. 

Challenge

Senegal faces two major challenges: a lack of employment opportunities, particularly for its youth and women, and limited access to high-quality, affordable hygiene products. Existing tissues and similar items in the market often lack durability and comfort, leading to user dissatisfaction. Additionally, much of the supply is imported, creating affordability issues and economic leakage. LEGACY confronts these challenges head-on by launching a locally grounded production facility that addresses both employment needs and product quality gaps using natural, consumer-friendly innovations.

Solution

LEGACY will address the hygiene product gap in Senegal by introducing a phased manufacturing plan starting with uniquely designed handkerchiefs, colored and fruit-scented, for a refreshing user experience. This will be followed by the production of diapers and sanitary napkins.

LEGACY Joins FasterCapital’s LaunchUp Program to Scale Local Hygiene Innovation in Senegal

LEGACY, a hygiene product startup based in Dakar, Senegal, has officially joined FasterCapital’s LaunchUp program as it seeks to raise $5M to accelerate production and expand operations. The company, founded by Mouhamadou Lamine Thioune, aims to transform the hygiene sector in West Africa through locally manufactured, innovative products such as fruit-scented handkerchiefs, baby diapers, and sanitary towels.

By entering the LaunchUp program, LEGACY is set to benefit from FasterCapital’s support in funding, mentorship, and global networking as it looks to scale its manufacturing capacity and create significant local employment opportunities. With a vision rooted in sustainability and social impact, LEGACY addresses two of Senegal’s pressing challenges: high youth unemployment and the lack of high-quality, affordable hygiene products.

Hesham Zreik, CEO of FasterCapital, commented on the partnership:
“LEGACY represents exactly the kind of startup we’re proud to support — one that fuses social impact with smart, scalable business solutions. We see strong potential in their approach to local manufacturing and product innovation in a highly underserved market.”

He added: “The LaunchUp program is designed to give startups like LEGACY a platform to access not just capital but strategic support that ensures long-term growth and sustainability. We’re excited to be part of their journey.”

We believe that with their backing, we can significantly accelerate our mission to empower local communities through job creation and bring high-quality hygiene products to every household in Senegal and beyond.”

LEGACY’s innovative approach leverages natural ingredients and consumer-friendly designs to ensure affordability, comfort, and accessibility while reducing reliance on imported goods. Through this partnership, the company is positioned to drive forward a new era of inclusive industrial growth in West Africa.
