Project Aashritha is a dedicated initiative focused on raising awareness about the harmful effects of conventional sanitary pads and advocating for the adoption of organic alternatives. True to its name, which means “to provide shelter or support,” this project aims to empower women and foster sustainable practices in menstrual health while addressing the critical need for access to menstrual hygiene products.

To educate communities on the importance of organic sanitary products, reduce environmental harm, and support underprivileged women with access to safe and sustainable menstrual solutions.

• Awareness Drives: Conduct sessions highlighting the health risks of conventional sanitary pads and their environmental impact, alongside the benefits of organic alternatives.
• Donation Programs: Provide free organic sanitary pads to women and girls in underserved communities, ensuring access to safer menstrual hygiene.
• Community Engagement: Partner with local organizations, schools, and health professionals to reach more women and amplify the project’s impact.
• Sustainability Advocacy: Promote the use of eco-friendly menstrual products to reduce plastic waste and protect the environment.

Access to menstrual hygiene products is a fundamental right, not a privilege. For many underprivileged women and girls, the high cost of sanitary pads leads to unsafe practices, school dropouts, and compromised health. By making organic sanitary pads free and accessible, Project Aashritha not only ensures dignity and comfort for women but also removes financial barriers that prevent them from managing their periods safely and sustainably.

• Women and girls gain access to safe and eco-friendly menstrual care, improving their health and hygiene.
• The financial burden on underprivileged families is reduced, promoting dignity and equality.
• Girls can attend school consistently during their periods, leading to reduced dropout rates and improved educational outcomes.
• The initiative reduces the environmental footprint caused by conventional sanitary pads, fostering a cleaner, greener planet.
• Communities become more informed about menstrual health and sustainability, creating a positive cultural shift.
