Provide free sanitary pads along with counselling sessions for hygienic practices around periods and raise awareness

Sarwa started an initiative “Free Days Happy Days” whereby focusing on adolescent girls, they shall be given a pack of 6 pads every month. There are many problems in girls in their starting stages of the menstrual cycle and to address this, we provide them education on the same. We have created 5-session program for giving them an understanding of menstrual cycle, using pads and benefits. This movement will make every girl participant an important and self-reliant stakeholder.

The challenge is to tackle the age-old taboo - Menstrual cycle - by creating awareness, access to a clean menstrual cycle and thus boosting the confidence of adolescent girls.
