what we do
Our student-led team is aimed towards raising funds for women and girls in India who are unable to receive feminine products. As a team, we believe that every woman is deserving of proper feminine hygienic care. With our project, we hope to break barriers, one pad at a time!
What is the Issue?
In India, especially in rural areas due to socio- economic and infrastructural barriers, many women face a lack of access to proper menstrual care, including sanitary products. Another issue is the social stigma attached to menstruation, with women on their periods being seen as dirty or unholy.
Maher Ashram
We are collaborating with Maher, a non-profit organization dedicated to the uplifting of rural communities by providing shelter and care to people in need. As part of our work with Maher, we have developed an outreach program for rural communities to address menstruation's facts and fallacies.
Our Goals
Our goals are to raise enough funds to provide each woman sheltered by Maher with enough pads for a year and reach as many communities with our educational program as possible.
How we Fundraise
To meet our goals, we host fundraisers and pad drives throughout the Bay Area at schools, markets, fairs, and other events where we can talk to people about our cause. We also have an online campaign through Givebutter that accepts all donations, large and small!
Upcoming Fundraisers:
First Week of May @ Panera in Fremont
