Challenge

More than 200 million (around 2/3) menstruating women in India do not have access to hygienic sanitary protection. Poor menstrual hygiene practices are not put the women at risk of various infections and diseases, but also they lose their self-esteem and suffer in silence. In times of Covid pandemic, where health and hygiene are of utmost importance, through this project, we aim to supplement poor girls with sanitary products and improve their health and quality of life.

Solution

The fund from the project shall provide a packet of health and dignity to these women who cannot afford to buy and have no access to Sanitary Pads. It shall give her protection for one month and keep her healthy and confident to face life. The girls shall continue their education, who otherwise tend to drop out during their monthly cycles, and shall build a bright and self-reliant future for themselves.

Long-Term Impact

In India, usually, most of the girl children tend to drop out of school, once they are menstruating. A packet of Sanitary pads and awareness around it shall inculcate a habit within girls & communities towards safe & hygienic menstruation practices. This shall help them to lead a healthy, hygienic, and longer life, help them remain in schools, and complete their education. We, through a sanitary pad, are also helping them to become economically contributory and we can serve SDGs 3, 4, 5,10
