Project Uger

Menstruation does not stop during a pandemic or a calamity! In these unprecedented times, where we face hardships of the Pandemic, the Cyclone and floods – we need to support each other and rebuild our lives together. With millions being affected, women and children continue to be the most vulnerable. While most people struggle for the basic essentials, Women’s health has slipped down further in the list of priorities within and outside the family.

"Her Health First" is a campaign to support menstruators. We make menstruation a priority by distributing health kits to those who are in need. The Health Kit @ Rs 500 each will comprise a set of 3 UGER reusable pads, 2 UGER masks (as per government guidelines) and a bar of soap, all items contained in the UGER cotton potli. The UGER cloth reusable pads are made of 100 percent cotton, are washable reusable, safe for the body and environment. Each pad will last for over 1.5 years. Jatan Sansthan and Womenite partner in this campaign to produce and distribute the UGER Health Kit. in diverse areas such as Delhi NCR region, Bihar, Sunderbans in West Bengal, Jammu and Kashmir and Assam where there is an identified need.

1. Prioritizing women's health and needs agenda.
2. Making menstrual management dignified and healthy for menstruators during the pandemic and calamities in India.
3. Support women from low-income families in Udaipur, Rajasthan who produce the UGER health kit, earn a livelihood during these times when most have become the sole earning members of their family.
