Empowering Young Women Through Menstrual Hygiene Awareness
Building Knowledge, Dignity, and Health in Our Communities
Education is the cornerstone of empowerment; Our Menstrual Hygiene Awareness Classes have equipped young women with the knowledge and resources they need to manage their health with confidence and dignity. Held at local schools such as Vidya Niketan in Aspur, our programme is a vital step toward breaking taboos and fostering a supportive environment for every student.
