Dear donors,
I am thrilled to share an incredible journey with you - a journey that is close to my heart and driven by a burning desire to create positive change in the lives of menstruators across India. My name is Farheen Naaz, and together with my brother Abu Sufiyan, we founded WeTheChange (WTC), a non-profit organization dedicated to breaking the silence surrounding menstruation and empowering menstruators with knowledge about menstrual health and hygiene.
Growing up, our parents instilled in us strong values of compassion and giving back to society. Inspired by their teachings, we embarked on this remarkable journey to challenge the taboos and stereotypes associated with menstruation. We firmly believe that hushed period talks should be normalized, for every menstruator deserves to have access to proper menstrual health and hygiene.
Through WTC, we have been able to make a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it the most. Our organization has reached rural and tribal areas, as well as urban slums, in 15 states and union territories across India. We have distributed Menstrual Hygiene Kits and provided education to thousands of individuals, empowering them with the knowledge they deserve.
Each Menstrual Hygiene Kit is carefully designed to cater to a menstruator's needs for three months. It includes Oxo-Biodegradable Sanitary Pads, which are free of plastic and decompose within six months of use. We also provide Red Dot Sanitary Pad Disposal bags for proper and environmentally friendly disposal. To ensure comfort and hygiene, we include cotton panties and a bar of soap. And to educate and empower, we have included a Menstrupedia Mini Comic Book, providing informative and inspiring knowledge about Periods.
The impact of our work has been truly remarkable. We have distributed over 2.5 lakh compostable sanitary pads and 1.25 lakh Red Dot Sanitary Pad disposal bags, making a tangible change in the lives of menstruators across the country.
But our journey doesn't end here. We have a vision that expands beyond our current reach. With our growing network of volunteers spanning 15 states and union territories, we aim to educate an additional 50,000 people this year alone. We want to break menstrual taboos and stereotypes throughout the nation and to achieve this, we are dedicated to training ASHA and Anganwadi workers, who play a crucial role in their communities.
Dear donors, your contribution to our crowdfunding campaign will help make this vision a reality. Together, we can create a world where menstruation is no longer a taboo subject, and where every menstruator has access to the knowledge and resources they deserve. Your support will enable us to continue our crucial work, touching the lives of countless menstruators and fostering a more inclusive and empowered society.
Join us in this transformative journey. Embrace the power of compassion and make a lasting impact in the lives of menstruators across India. Together, let us rewrite the narrative surrounding menstruation and create a brighter future for all.
With gratitude,
Farheen Naaz
