We steered our Project,
Kamakhya towards its second phase- ‘Experience’.
As an important part of Menstrual Hygiene, we distributed 140 Menstrual Hygiene kits with handmade cotton cloth sanitary napkins made by women in Ahmedabad. They were also offered a washing soap, string to dry, clothes peg and washing bowl to maintain hygiene. The women recipients of Pimpoli village were explained the importance of weaning themselves off the synthetic napkins.

Our Rural Development team encouraged the rural women to open about their challenges in menstruation and talk to the Gynecologist doctor, our Rural Development team member. The women in the next phase of the project will eventually be taught to make their own sanitary napkins and sell the excess ones to gain financial independence.
