The Whispers
It was back in 2018 when during a conversation with her house-help, one of our CDF SRCC members got to know about the social issue of menstrual hygiene amongst the ones who go unnoticed, generally.
Onground Surveys
The fire was kindled & we couldn’t stop ourselves from exploring the situation of menstruation taboo on-ground. Starting with a slum on the banks of River Yamuna in Shastri Park, we surveyed around 15 areas in Delhi-NCR.
Getting Them Together

Achieving Our First Milestone
We started gathering resources. In a short span of 15 days, we were able to gather more than Rs. 150000, marking our first milestone in this direction.
Conducting Awareness Sessions

Initiated Donation Drives

Community Interaction
We needed something innovative and constant. In order to sustain our project we interacted with different communities of women to independently take action and hence ensure the availability of sanitary pads.
Village Level Entrepreneurs
“Why not someone from the community?” was our pivot. “Someone who is native to that area, whom we could teach & train to handle the logistics and run the model as her own while simultaneously being financially stable!”. And that is how the idea of a Village-level Entrepreneur came up.

Not losing our hope, we continued, with even greater strength and along with 3100+ sanitary napkins donated 200 masks, 350 sanitizers, 150 health kits and ration, to help the people in need besides Online Sessions & Webinars for 5000+ people in 11+ areas.

Pandemic or no pandemic, we continued to expand. In September 2020. We expanded to 3 more areas in Delhi and in collaboration with DBN to add 2500 more people in our family.
