Simthali Village, Ward No. 2 of Benighat Rorang Rural Municipality, Dhading District, in central Nepal, recently benefited from an initiative to promote menstrual hygiene management, supported by ECCA. In collaboration with the local women group, Simthali Aatmanirbhar Mahila Samuha, total of 378 sets of reusable, washable sanitary pads were distributed among menstruating women and girls in the community.
Alongside the sanitary pads, information leaflets in the local language and orientations through door-to-door program were provided to raise awareness about menstrual hygiene practices and empower women and girls with the knowledge for better health and well-being.
Recipients, including Mrs. Om Maya, President of the women group, expressed their heartfelt gratitude to ECCA and the local women group, noting that access to reusable sanitary pads has reduced discomfort during menstruation, enabling them to participate more conveniently in daily life and community activities.
We sincerely appreciate the continued support that makes initiatives like this possible, helping to improve health, dignity, and confidence in communities across Nepal.
Thank you.
