Whenever people visit an orphanage most likely they offer food. Some give books, some may give used dresses. But what about Inner Wear for girls? Whom shall they ask? When they ask care taker, if approved okay. Otherwise asking again and waiting is so embarrassing and uncomfortable.

WHAT ARE WE

We, Extra Mile, a NPO non profit organisation, born for this cause, with a target of providing inner garments for 1000 orphanage girls in 3 years.

One set of Inner Garments (bra+petticoat +panty) cost Rs 150. And we give two sets to each orphan girl, means Rs 300 a pair. Giving not just once, but repeatedly for every 6 months. We started with 100 girls in 2017 and now reached to a number 500 girls.

HOW WE DO
We visit orphanage first. Speak to the founder, care taker, and the girls there. Also I seek feedback about the home from my known social service circle. Over the last 7 years I developed my own style to verify homes and beneficiaries. Now we have 10 orphanages fixed as of now in Hyderabad where we are providing Inner Wear every year March and September.

Then we collate the data as how many numbers required against each size. Buy in lot from a Good Vendor, who liked this social cause and agreed to give at zero profit.

Then we visit again the orphanages, one by one, as a group along with volunteers. Female volunteers not only distribute the inner wear, they also take sessions for girls of different age groups creating awareness about   importance of using inner wear and also clear their doubts if any of any menstrual hygiene and other things on a girl's perspective. But it is our policy not to share girls pictures in public or any groups.
