One girl’s story

What a reusable pad changed for Rani

Her mother’s question, and the small thing that answered it.

“Beta, aaj bhi school nahi jana?”
Her mother, at the door

It was the third day of her period, and Rani was not going to school. Again. A reusable pad changed it. Today Rani walks to school on all five days.

Rani, one of more than 4,500 girls reached in Varanasi and Ahmedabad. Read her story →

Rani is not unusual. That is the hard part. The needs on this page are schools and villages where girls are still waiting.

How it works

From a real need to a finished report

Three steps, and you can see every one of them.

We do our due diligence

Before a need goes up, our team confirms what is needed, and for how many girls or women.

You fund all of it, or a share

From India or from abroad. Your donation goes to the need you choose, and you can follow it on its page.

You see it done

Progress photos and updates go on the page, and you receive the report when the work is complete.

Before you give

Questions donors ask

Clear answers on where your donation goes.

Due diligence on every need

No need goes up until our team has done it.

80G receipt

Donations from India are eligible for deduction under Section 80G.

Donors abroad welcome

Give through Ketto in your own currency, under FCRA.

Report for every donor

When the work is done, the report comes to you.

How is my donation used?

In our accounts, all donations to every need form one project, Fund a need. We buy pads, kits and machines in bulk for all the needs together, which keeps costs low. Each need shows where the work is happening and how far it has got.

What if a need is not fully funded?

Your donation goes to the need you choose. If that need is not fully funded by its closing date, we will first extend the date. If that is not enough, we will carry out part of the work where that still helps, or use your donation for another need in Fund a need. Every donation stays within our menstrual health work, money never goes to the person who suggested the community, and we will share an update on how the funds were utilised.

What is the small extra in the Ketto window?

Ketto, our donation platform, charges no platform fee. The payment gateway charges a small fee. In the Ketto window you can choose to cover it, so your full donation reaches the work. It is ticked for you, and you can untick it.

I am giving from abroad. How does it work?

Choose Giving from abroad on the need’s page and give through Ketto in your own currency. Indian law asks for your full address and nationality. Your passport number is optional. Exchange rates and bank charges apply. Anything left over after a need is met is used for our other projects or for Pinkishe’s day-to-day running and administration.

Will I get a receipt?

Yes. Ketto sends your receipt by email. Donations from India are eligible for deduction under Section 80G.

Can I suggest a school or village?

Yes. Tell us about it. Our team will do its due diligence, and if it fits our work, it can become a need here for donors to fund. Suggest a need
