Menstrual (Cycle Care) Initiatives

Our menstrual hygiene program in schools aims to educate, empower and create a stigma free atmosphere, ensuring every student manages their menstruation with dignity and confidence.

so far 7,000 girls have been trained on how to make eco-friendly re-usable pads and construction of a safe Hub where girls can have access to readable materials and privacy.

Women Support Groups

we are steadfast in our commitment to fostering women rights, particularly in the critical realm of domestic violence. Recognizing the profound impact of support networks, we have established women and girl's empowerment support groups both in schools and community level, as a cornerstone of our initiative.

Gender & Climate Justice

Our Green Team initiative empowers communities by emphasizing environmental conservation, proper recycling, and the hazards of inappropriate waste disposal. Simultaneously, we're enhancing school environments by planting trees that promise a sustainable future and shade for the next generation.
