Details of the Crowdfunding Campaign run by Sanaaya Joisher & why it Matters

50 % of women and girls in rural areas and urban slums have poor menstrual hygiene practices. They end up using materials like paper, husk, dirty cloth, ash etc.

23 % girls drop out of schools when they start menstruating. Hence this is a big issue in our country. UNESCO also uses these reusable pads in Africa.
