About Terraverde Care
Terraverde Care is a menstrual health brand by Allgreen Ivy Limited, founded in Nigeria to bring thoughtfully made, comfortable menstrual care to women — inspired by nature and grounded in local innovation.
Menstrual Care Rooted in Purpose
Terraverde Care is a menstrual health brand by Allgreen Ivy Limited, founded in Nigeria with a simple but important belief:
Women deserve menstrual care products they can trust.
Our work brings together women's needs, agricultural knowledge, research, product development, and local manufacturing.
We develop disposable and reusable sanitary pads while exploring practical ways to use plant-based agricultural fibres alongside carefully selected materials.
For us, innovation is not simply about creating something new. It is about finding thoughtful ways to solve real problems and create meaningful value.

Where Agriculture Meets Menstrual Health
Terraverde Care grew from two experiences that shaped our founder, Lydia Thompson.
Growing up, Lydia witnessed the challenges that limited access to quality menstrual products could create for girls and women.
Her professional journey in agriculture revealed another opportunity.
As an Animal Scientist with practical experience in both livestock and crop production, she gained firsthand knowledge of agricultural production and the plant materials left behind after harvest.
Banana pseudostems, pineapple leaves, maize husks, and other agricultural residues represented more than materials with little economic value. They represented an opportunity to explore new forms of agricultural value creation.
This led to a simple question:
What if underutilized agricultural materials could become part of a better menstrual care solution for women?
That question became the beginning of Terraverde Care.
Lydia Thompson
Lydia Thompson is an Animal Scientist, entrepreneur, researcher, and founder of Terraverde Care.
Her experience across both livestock and crop production gave her a practical understanding of agriculture and the potential of plant-based materials generated through farming.
Combined with her personal understanding of the challenges surrounding menstrual care, this experience shaped the idea behind Terraverde Care.
Today, she leads the company with a vision to build a trusted Nigerian menstrual health brand through thoughtful product development, research, agricultural value creation, and women-centred innovation.
