Pad Distribution with Awareness
![]()
We conducted a program on "Period Without Shame" on Friday, the 7th of June.
The program was conducted in a Secondary school in Puranchaour village of Kaski. The school is approximately 15 kilometers away from our office.
It was a 2 hours program. First the girls from grades V, VI and VII were invited to the hall.
A 45 minutes session was organized, where the girls were made aware about Menstrual Health, Puberty and the process, what to expect, what to do and mainly hygiene and usage of sanitary pads and how to dump it.
Another group of girls from Grade VIII, IX and X were made aware about Menstrual hygiene and myths related to it. 4 boys from these classes were included in this group, especially the bright ones that would later relay the message to their peers. It was done to break the taboo and to talk about periods freely without shame or hesitation.
After this, a peer group committee was formed of 5 girls from grade VI, VII, VIII, IX and X. They were named the coordinators who would be incharge of the sanitary pads to be distributed to any one who has their period during the school. They would be accountable for proper distribution and would have to provide us details of the usage and/or shortage. They were also in charge to have group meetings, discussions on menstrual hygiene and call us in case of some confusion or they needed another session.
2 boxes containing 108 packs of sanitary pads have been provided to them committee.
The school was very helpful and complied with us through out the program. It was a very successful program.
The program was attended by Surendra (Project Leader), Tshering (Chairperson), Abhijeet (treasurer) and two facilitators.
We are also planning for yet another program in a school in a village and but waiting for further funds.
