Gift Menstrual Education to Underprivileged Girls

Every year about 12 million girls get their first period. But most of them remain ill informed about their periods and are not mentally prepared to deal with it. Girls as young as 9 years old have to follow discriminatory social restrictions originating from prevalent menstrual myths. This is extremely detrimental to their self-esteem and severely hampers their overall growth and development in life, especially during their early formative years. The only way to tackle this issue is to educate each and every girl about menstruation at the right time so that they are capable of taking care of themselves during their periods.

This campaign is a step towards raising a generation of mothers who would prevent menstrual myths from passing on to their children and ensure that the coming generation is well aware too.

I am raising funds to conduct menstrual awareness workshop for 10,000 girls from low income families.

Hope House is a sub-centre partner of childline1098 for Vellore district and will be conducting a 2 - hour workshops in schools. At the end of each workshop, a copy of Menstrupedia comic is given to a group of 10 girls to read and share to be empowered. This is to ensure that your gift goes 10 times farther than it would if we only give a copy to one girl.
