The menstrual and reproductive health of women is a very important aspect of women’s development. However, India is lagging behind in this aspect due to the taboo related to menstruation, and the lack of menstrual hygiene management facilities. Millions of girls drop out of school annually due to the shame on the subject and unavailability of menstrual hygiene facilities. 70% of all the reproductive diseases in India are caused by poor menstrual health. Underprivileged women opt for unhygienic materials to absorb their menstrual flow because they cannot afford healthier materials. Many women are not even aware of the importance of using hygienic materials during those cycles. The Covid-19 situation has made things worse for menstruating women. The lockdown badly hit the income sources of many who earned through daily wage labor. This has created a barrier for women to obtain the necessary staff for their menstrual hygiene. The once who had chosen to replace rags with sanitary napkins kit may have to go back to the unhygienic materials they once used. The pandemic has left women with no choice but to sacrifice their health. 
 A large number of underprivileged people stay in Babu Camp, Sambav Camp, Vimbasti, Viru camp &amp; Sapera Basti near Chatterpur, South Delhi. Through the project ‘Sakha’, Tare Zameen Foundation has been organizing free distribution of sanitary napkins kit for the underprivileged girls and women in these areas since its inception. Along with it, the organization has also been spreading awareness on menstrual hygiene. It has made effort to empower women by encouraging them to talk about menstruation and speak up against the stigma related to it. Since, it is the time of pandemic the organization is not conducting awareness camps as of now. Nevertheless, it is still distributing sanitary kits along with helpful advises for all the underprivileged women in the said areas.The organization needs your support to continue working for the cause.  
 The project will create awareness among the poor and the downtrodden regarding Menstrual Health and Hygiene by distributing free sanitary napkins kit to those who can’t afford it. The sole purpose of the project is to ensure better menstrual health of the poor women and empower them through awareness on their rights towards basic necessities.“A healthy and happy woman is the key to a joyful and prosperous family”

Our Rural communities in remote villages face dearth of reliable, scientific and logical information around issues of social, economic, political importance in their local languages. The challenge is to update our rural pals about recent news, technology advancements and make them aware of various social issues affecting their day to day lives, with a view to develop them as responsible and empowered citizens. 
  Think about having your own radio station where you can walk in any time to ask for your favourite music, share important local events and opportunity to be a celebrity in your community by performing on radio. Waqt Ki Awaaz-Community Radio Station, promoted by Shramik Bharti is empowering rural communities by giving them this choice. Over the years Waqt Ki Awaaz has been evolved as community’s own medium of communication for dialogue, information &amp; knowledge sharing and citizen action for empowerment, equity and equality. The radio station is about 35 kms from Kanpur city and has been broadcasting since the year 2012. Presently it is reaching up to a population of 5,00,000 from 300 villages of Kanpur Nagar and Kanpur Dehat districts in Uttar Pradesh.

The entire world is fighting against an unprecedented Pandemic COVID 19. India was under complete Lockdown for 54 days till May and thereafter few relaxations were given to resume the economic activities. This has brought in several social and economic disorders leading to conflict, chaos, stigma and inequitable use of resources for survival.The worst sufferers are daily wagers, small vendors/business and small and marginal farmers as their earnings are suddenly stopped. Rural Uttar Pradesh has witnessed reverse migration on a large scale. There are huge challenges for survival before the returnee migrants and their families. This situation has heightened the risk of malnutrition/undernutrition as the plates of poor households lack diet and nutritional diversity. 
 Organic Vegetable Garden is a simple and affordable solution to address the issue of nutritional security and improves the livelihood by providing an additional income to marginalized households by the sale of surplus vegetables. This activity can be done by the women of the household along with other household chores. Growing vegetables and fruits without using chemical fertilizers and pesticides does not only help poor households to have safe and nutritious food available for daily intake but also keep the surrounding environment ;water, soil and air safe, leading to a healthy life. Shramik Bharti has planned to develop 200 Organic Vegetable Gardens to support the livelihood and nutritional needs of 200 COVID 19 Hit families, in Kanpur Dehat districts of Uttar Pradesh.One can support one or more rural woman for developing Organic Vegetable Gardens to fight malnutrition and earn additional income for their families by a small contribution of Rs. 3000/- as one time support for one vegetable garden.A total no. of 200 Organic Vegetable Gardens will be developed in a period of one year. 
 In addition to the vegetables consumed in family (i.e equals to saving of Rs. 1000 at least per month), each beneficiary family will be easily able to make Rs. 3000 per month as cash income from sale of surplus vegetables.

In Recent time, micronutrient deficiency due to lack of diet diversity is common in developing countries. And the issue is gaining attention due to the hidden consequences of impaired physical and cognitive development.The plates of poor households in India lack nutritional diversity leading to malnourishment. Uttar Pradesh, the most populous state with an estimated population of 220 million, alone accounts for over an estimated 500,000 annual child deaths, of which nearly 45% can be attributed to under nutrition of the mother and children (Lancet 2013). 
 Kitchen Gardening is a simple and affordable solution to address the problem of nutritional security of marginalized households effectively. Growing vegetables and fruits without using chemical fertilizers and pesticides does not only help poor households to have safe and nutritious food available for daily intake but also keep the surrounding environment ;water, soil and air safe, leading to a healthy life. 
 Kitchen Gardens will provide safe vegetables and fruits for daily consumption. This will add nutrition in the diet of children, pregnant and lactating women and elderly people in particular. Thus enabling mother and children to combat malnutrition.On the other hand the families livelihood will also be improved by selling surplus produce in the market. And being the organic produce beneficiaries will be able to fetch good prices.
