There are over 355 million menstruating women and girls in India, Nearly 23 million girls drop out of school annually due to lack of proper menstrual hygiene management which include unavailability of sanitary napkins and lack of awareness of menstruation. So Menstrual Hygiene Management is a serious problem for school going adolescents due to limited or lack of access to products (absorbents) for sanitary hygiene, and lack of safe sanitary facilities,Periods in most parts of our country are often associated with shame, girls are often told by their mothers and sisters to hide their periods.
This leaves a significant impact on their psyche and the shame and silence often gets translated into low self-confidence and low self-esteem in them.
So let us just replace this shame with a sense of pride and help our Mothers and Sisters to celebrate themselves.
SACHHI SAHELI is a Delhi based NGO that spreads awareness regarding Personal hygiene, hygiene of reproductive organs, adolescent health and especially about Maintaining Menstrual Hygiene through workshops, trainings, discussions and sessions.

As you know that nowadays due to pandemic COVID-19 most of people have lost their jobs, and especially females are not able to spend money on things like sanitary napkins because they tend to ignore their personal hygiene needs and also due to feeling shame they are not asking to their family to pay for Sanitary napkins which is resulting in unhygienic management of periods and further leading to infections. Also, due to financial crises and hesitation these females are not able to go to clinics either.
So Sachhi Saheli is attempting to address their problems and in order to deal with the situation, we are organizing online sessions on Menstrual awareness and also distributing a complete hygiene kit (COVI-KIT) in Delhi and NCR region, this kit helps women & girls to maintain menstrual hygiene.

- Handwashing with soap can be a much more powerful weapon against COVID-19, as the virus is enclosed in a lipid envelope - basically, a layer of fat, and soap can separate that fat layer and make the virus unable to infect. proper handwashing not only reduces the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) .
