Born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Eklund completed his high school education at the International Community School of Addis Ababa in Ethiopia. Following his matriculation, Eklund enrolled at and graduated from George Washington University in DC, where he studied international development in Africa.

Dawit Eklund Family
Eklund is one of four siblings. He has two sisters, Yodit and Sara Eklund.Sara is the founder of Noble Cup, Ethiopia’s first menstrual cup brand. She discovered the menstrual cup as a 25-year-old grad school student living in New York.
In 2019, Sara was featured by Vogue Magazine after she introduced menstrual cups to Ethiopia. Working under the slogan “Every Queen Bleeds,” Sara takes a grassroots approach to raising awareness of menstrual health. To coincide with the launch of the Noble Cup in 2018, she began hosting interactive workshops on menstrual management in universities and schools across the country with the help of a small team of friends, extended family, and volunteers.
Sara’s campaign has attracted high-profile international attention. Over the summer of 2019, Pakistani activist and Nobel Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai was among those who joined a Noble Cup workshop at a high school in the capital Addis Ababa. Above and beyond providing products, these gatherings have been instrumental in helping create safe spaces where young women feel empowered to think differently about their own bodies.
“I want girls to be able to reframe the conversation around menstruation in their communities and society as a whole,” she told the magazine. “It starts by talking, sharing stories about periods. When we give out the cups, we encourage girls to give it a shot, but of course they’re scared. Maybe only a handful will try it at first, and that’s ok. The idea is that they will learn from each other, form new habits and dismantle the taboos together. I like to think of this as an activist movement that truly all women can be a part of, no matter where they are.”
