In this campaign, we are collecting funds for toilets renovation and menstrual hygiene sessions in vulnerable communities and school girls. we are renovating 15 school toilets and making them healthy, with menstrual hygiene awareness sessions among vulnerable communities and schoolgirls with providing them healthy period toolkits (Sanitary napkins, disposable bags, Soap hand wash), this year from 2021-23, and the fund target will be approx - 9,50000 lacs.
DarakhtChhanvFoundation initiating to make healthy and better toilets in government schools. with menstrual hygiene awareness among school and communities girls as well.
We started this project by completing many school visits (it’s riveting!) You may read the highlights on this page. we were absolutely stunned at what we discovered.
-In our research, we found that most of the toilets are closed. Not more than 1 seat in toilets, and a few badly damaged urinals for many students. No water fittings. No electrical fittings. No washbasin and no soap to wash hands. This leads to a long queue outside the toilet, and sometimes children need to resort to open defecation/ urination. It is even more challenging for the senior girls who, with the onset of puberty, have special sanitation requirements. Broken doors and a damaged roof do not provide them the privacy they need to manage their menstrual needs. We have to think as we found that
There is an urgent need to reimagine school toilets.
Having toilets and water is a basic necessity in schools; however, it is not available in many rural schools in Bharatpur Rajasthan! Due to this, children are irregular to school and eventually drop out. This project will help to build toilets and maintain them, and provide running and clean drinking water for school children in rural schools! The expected impact of the project is better health and improved school attendance and a reduction in school dropouts among the project villages
We have been given the opportunity to trial The School Toilet Project in a school in the village of Chakramnagar Bharatpur Rajasthan. (Where we are also launching our toilet project and will renovate both toilets (1 is for girls and another for boys) in school)

With these healthy toilets, "We are also helping young girls manage their periods better (23 Million Women Drop Out Of School Every Year When They Start Menstruating In India). Let’s talk about periods 🩸 project named “Proud to Bleed and pad a girl” It’s 2021 and gender equality is a relatively hot topic, but that sentence is still something that makes people feel uncomfortable. The subject of menstruation is still something that is considered taboo and although many organizations are doing what they can to end the shame and eradicate period poverty, there is still a long way to go.
We are firm believers that we need to help break the silence, raise awareness, and change negative social norms surrounding menstrual hygiene around the world, so that women and girls feel empowered to manage their periods safely, hygienically, with confidence, and without embarrassment. We should live in a world where no woman or girl is limited by something as natural and normal as menstruating.
The major objectives of this project are :
- To increase awareness among adolescent girls on Menstrual Hygiene
- To increase access to and use of high-quality sanitary napkins to adolescent girls in rural areas.
- To ensure safe disposal of Sanitary Napkins in an environmentally friendly manner.
To support this belief, we are creating a free toolkit to help schools across the globe raise awareness and educate students about periods and good menstrual hygiene. and we are going to provide healthy period kits( Sanitary napkins, disposable bags, and Soap hand wash, for those 1431 school girls. each toolkit cost will occur approx: INR 100/-
