A Humble Honour on a Global Stage

On April 25, 2025, at the Hyatt Centric, New Delhi, the Pinkishe Foundation was recognized among the Top 5 Most Impactful NGOs of the Year at the prestigious Global CSR & ESG Awards. This recognition is a quiet yet powerful milestone in our journey—acknowledging years of consistent grassroots work toward promoting menstrual health awareness in India.

It reflects the growing understanding that menstrual equity is not just a health issue—but a development, education, and dignity issue. And it reaffirms the belief that change begins with compassion, community, and conversation.

Menstrual Health Recognized as a Core Development Priority

This award isn’t just a badge of honour. It’s a marker of progress—where menstrual health advocacy is finally being acknowledged as central to the broader CSR and ESG frameworks. For us, it validates the countless awareness sessions, distribution drives, and community dialogues we’ve held across rural and urban India.

From breaking taboos to building inclusive conversations, our work continues thanks to the support of thousands of volunteers, educators, and everyday changemakers—walking with us one pad, one girl, one session at a time.

Empowering Through Action: The Programs Behind the Impact

The Global CSR & ESG Awards honour organizations that create meaningful, measurable change—and our recognition among the Top 5 NGOs is a reflection of that collective effort.

Over the years, we’ve focused on ensuring that menstrual health is not treated as a silent issue, but as a shared responsibility. From distributing free sanitary pads to those in need, to fostering menstrual literacy through creative expression, and enabling safe, open conversations in schools and communities—we’ve worked at every level to break the silence around menstruation.

Each effort, no matter how small, has been rooted in the belief that access to knowledge, dignity, and menstrual hygiene is every girl's right. Together, these actions have empowered thousands across India to challenge taboos and reclaim confidence—ensuring no girl is held back because of her period.
