Naranpura GJ School No. 4 in Ahmedabad, Gujarat

In a pivotal effort to enhance menstrual health education and support, a menstrual hygiene literacy camp and free pad donation event took place at Naranpura GJ School No. 4 in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, on July 22, 2024. This initiative sought to address the critical need for comprehensive menstrual health resources and awareness within the community.

Organizer and Participants

The event was organized by Saasha, an organization committed to improving menstrual health awareness. The camp welcomed 18 girls from the school, who were each provided with a menstrual hygiene kit. This kit was designed to ensure they have the necessary resources for maintaining proper menstrual hygiene.

Insightful Education on Menstrual Hygiene

A key highlight of the camp was the detailed menstrual education provided by our menstrual educator. The educator conducted an in-depth session covering a range of topics essential for menstrual health. This included:

* Understanding Menstrual Cycles: Explaining the biological processes involved and what to expect during menstruation.

* Proper Hygiene Practices: Demonstrating how to use sanitary products correctly and emphasizing the importance of changing them regularly to avoid infections and discomfort.

* Health and Well-being: Discussing how menstrual health impacts overall well-being and how to manage common menstrual symptoms effectively.

Distribution of Kits

At the conclusion of the menstrual educational session, each participant received a menstrual hygiene kit. These kits included sanitary pads  to support the girls through their menstrual cycles. The distribution was designed not only to provide immediate resources but also to foster a sense of preparedness and confidence among the attendees.

Impact and Goals

The primary goal of this camp was to empower young girls with knowledge and resources to manage their menstrual health with confidence. By combining education with practical support, Saasha aims to break down barriers related to menstrual hygiene and promote healthier, more informed communities.

Overall, the event was a success in enhancing menstrual hygiene literacy and providing essential support to young girls in Ahmedabad.

We offer our sincere thanks to all the participants and supporters whose essential contributions made this event a success. Together, we are working towards a future where menstruation is fully understood, widely respected, and managed with the utmost care and dignity.
