23% of girls drop out of school once they start menstruating
66% girls are unaware of menstruation

What does the program entails ?
"That time of the month" campaign will impact 1500 girls.

1. Conducting 3 Menstrual Hygiene Awareness sessions

2. Access to good quality sanitary pads, by supplying each girl with her annual need of 24 packets.

Through this campaign, we aim to enable girls to manage their periods safely, hygienically and with dignity.

It only takes Rs. 999 to equip one girl with knowledge and habits to fight reproductive track infections, missing days of school and lack of confidence.

Dear Supporters,

Thank you for the support so far. With your support, we have raised funds for 60 girls from ThatTimeoftheMonth Campaign. Along with support from our generous CSR partners Loparex, we have been able to conduct awareness sessions and provide access to pads to 300 girls in Adarsh Vidya Mandir, Thane. There is still a long way to reach our target of 1500 girls. Do spread the word and help us make periods a non-issue.
