Volunteer, Pune Branch
Namaskar, my name is Ritu Rai, from the Pune branch. Today, I would like to talk about the initiative of Kagaaz ke Pad started by Pinkishe Foundation two years ago. This program has been incredibly successful. Through this initiative, we collect waste paper from our society members and use the proceeds to purchase pads, which we then distribute to the maids in our society and needy women in nearby slum areas. Additionally, we educate them about the proper use of pads and discuss the side effects of using cloth. Our society's maids are very happy with this initiative, and we are seeing excellent participation from women in surrounding slum areas. They have become much more aware, and I would like to thank Pinkishe for starting this campaign. Thank you.
Gaur Ganga Society
My name is Mala Dutta. Today, Pinkishe Foundation organized an important session in our society to teach women, especially housemaids, about menstrual hygiene. The volunteers shared important information using simple and comforting language, answering the questions of the women present. This educational effort had a positive and lasting impact on everyone involved. We appreciate the commendable efforts of the Pinkishe team and thank them sincerely for contributing to the well-being and awareness of women in our society. We are eagerly waiting for them to do more such sessions in future also.
