Project Iron Woman is a social initiative that seeks to make a change in the area of women’s health and awareness. It aims to do so by providing women and girls access to the information and resources they need to address their nutritional, menstrual and natal needs.
The project is in collaboration with Hamari Pahchan. In partnership with them, we have conducted a series of sessions for girls and women of all ages focusing on female health.
As part of this social initiative, we have created a YOUTrients Guide. This is manual that helps women understand common deficiencies and how to deal with them. The HEALth Cookbook is a resource that was created with the intention of educating women about traditional Indian recipes that ensure they get the required intake of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. The MenstruCAN Handbook is another part of the initiative that aims to provide women information to better manage their period.
We believe that women and girls require not only information but also some amount of capital. Therefore, we have started this fundraiser. The proceeds will do directly to Hamari Pachchan and their efforts to assist underprivileged women in accessing resources they need to meet their nutritional needs.
