In India, 9 out of 10 women in India do not use sanitary pads (7 out of 10 use an old cloth) and 1 out of 4 girls drop out of school once they reach puberty .The awareness on menstrual hygiene and usage of sanitary napkins is virtually absent in rural areas. Poor menstrual hygiene can cause fungal infections, repeated infections to RTI etc. Mitwa is an initiative to create awareness among 5000 rural girls & women on issues of Menstrual Hygiene Management and promote uses of affordable napkins.
