Hygiene Kits & Construction of Toilets For Girls

Joy Foundation has been working hard for women empowerment on grassroots level. The team has been putting a lot of effort into initiatives that uplift women. Hygiene is one of the most important needs at the time as we are also going through the pandemic. As compared to men, women are not taking much protection against the pandemic, particularly the women at grassroots level. They feel like hygiene materials are expensive and are only important for men who are working and have to go out everyday. But they lack the knowledge that women need protection against the virus as well. But at grassroots level people cannot afford these things. Since we took this initiative a lot has changed, at first women were prone to diseases due to unhygienic practices, including lack of sanitation facilities and open defecation, but now the pandemic has added another risk to this list.

Through this project we not only aim to construct toilets for girls and provide them with hygiene kits, we also aim to aware these girls and women about the importance of hygienic practices for a better health particularly now when we are going through pandemic and the different varients of COVID-19. We hope soon we will have enough funds for this project and support more women.
