Save teenage girls from leaving schools due to onset of menstruation. Support us to distribute free eco-friendly Reusable Sanitary Cloth Pads and provide Period education to rural girls

Menstrual Hygiene has always been a big concern in India. Out of all the menstruating girls and woman in India, less than 20% use sanitary pads. Pinkishe foundation is working relentlessly to ensure that every woman has access to pads which is a basic need for any woman One such event of pad distribution was conducted in Sasani Gate, Aligarh. It was led by Rekha Upadhayay. About 31 women and young girls benefited from this event. They were educated about the process of menstruation, menstrual hygiene, and the importance of using sanitary pads. They showed keen interest throughout the session and listened very carefully. Such drives help eradicate misconceptions, doubts that women have about menstruation and they also help to educate women about menstrual hygiene. The aim of Pinkishe foundation is to help underprivileged women and educate them about menstrual hygiene and we hope that such drives conducted by our organisation will bring change in the lives of many women.

Pinkishe Foundation Sikkim branch conducted a menstrual hygiene awareness session and free Sanitary pad donation camp in Karji Dhupi village. This village is adopted by Pinkishe Foundation a few months back. Pinkishe Volunteer Savitri Pradhan educates women on the proper usage and disposal of sanitary pad. The women here have been using old cloth during menstruation. There is no availability of sanitary pad in the area. Every month Pinkishe Foundation is benefiting about 75 women and girls in this area. This menstrual hygiene awareness camp program is conducted every month under the supervision of Ms Jhuma Sunuwar and Ms Bhawana Sharma. Such progressive steps in the interior villages of India are definitely going to bring a big change towards myths and taboos associated with Menstruation.
