When a girl in our village starts her period, it doesn’t just indicate a biological change, but often brings a tragic change in her life. Menstruating girls in the villages face cultural stigma as well as societal discrimination, which leads to a domino effect in their life.

Not only is having period an unfortunate cultural taboo, but thousands of rural girls do not have access to menstrual products forcing them to stay home rather than going to school or coming out in the society with confidence and dignity.

Girls in rural households are often forced to use unsanitary methods of menstrual health management, including dirty rags, leaves, newspapers. Providing sustainable menstrual health management to girls benefits them in countless ways, most significantly, in their physical health, their ability to continue their education, facing the society with dignity and preventing self- victimization.

Under this Project our Organization works to ensure that all school going girls and deprived village women from the most remote areas of the Sundarbans have access to menstrual products like sanitary pads so that they feel confident and comfortable attending school without shame and being out in the society without any hesitations in mind.

Join us in our goal to supply sanitary pads to the deprived rural women & schoolgirls!

Each month, we provide sanitary pads to girls in need so that they feel empowered and confident to come out in the society with dignity or to attend school during their menstrual cycle. Presently we are providing sanitary pads at our four branches of the “Ananda Niketan Pathshala” located at village Shitalia, Pakhirala, Mollakhali, Parghumti  of the Sundarbans.

Our mission is to raise awareness on gender issues and bring it out in the open. Through our programs, we teach young girls that their menstrual cycles are natural, a sign of good reproductive health and is something they have in common with girls in countries worldwide!

Furthermore, we hold sessions with the mothers of the girls to bring the topic of menstruation out into the open, allow them to ask questions and look at menstruation as a natural and healthy process, as it is.

Donating sanitary pads for young women in Rural Villages is one of the most impactful ways we can change lives and communities.

Share your kindness to become the change maker and save your taxes.

It’s About Health & Dignity. Period.
