Challenge

Many underserved girls miss school every month because they cannot afford sanitary pads. This leads to shame, poor hygiene, health risks, and high dropout rates. Menstrual stigma and lack of education further limit girls' confidence and opportunities.

Solution

We will organize hands-on training where girls learn to produce reusable sanitary pads using locally available materials. Each participant receives menstrual health education and a reusable pad kit, ensuring immediate relief and long-term self-reliance.

Long-Term Impact

Reduce school absenteeism among girls, improve menstrual hygiene and health, build life skills and income-generating opportunities, break menstrual stigma in underserved communities, and promote sustainable, eco-friendly menstrual solutions.
