Menstrual health delivered as a system, not a donation drive

Period poverty is not solved by handing out pads. Girls also need correct information, reliable access inside the school, safe disposal, and adults they can ask. Distributing product without the other four leaves the problem where it was.

Every Pinkishe programme is built on four elements together — and monitored, so you can see whether they held.

Access

Girls need reliable menstrual products available inside the school when they need them.

    Awareness

    Correct menstrual health education helps girls understand their bodies with confidence and dignity.

      Disposal

      Safe disposal support helps schools create cleaner, more comfortable menstrual health environments.

        Support

        Sakhis, nodal teachers and community workers can help make menstrual health conversations easier and more trusted.

          Delivery is tracked through dashboard monitoring, stock and refill data, field documentation, and baseline and endline assessment where the project scope includes it.

          What the funding will support

          The proposed issue will support a school and community-based menstrual health programme in Sarangarh, Chhattisgarh. The project combines infrastructure, education, product access, safe disposal, peer leadership, teacher support,
          community mobilisation and monitoring.

          School Infrastructure
          IoT-enabled sanitary pad vending machines, PadBank storage units and disposal bins across government schools.
          Education and Support
          Menstrual health sessions for schoolgirls and community women, along with boys’ orientation and trained school support points.
          Monitoring and Continuity
          Dashboard tracking, refill monitoring, field visits, helpline support, baseline, endline and impact assessment.

          What a CSR budget buys?

          Every rupee maps to something specific and countable. Fund one school or hundred,  the reporting is identical either way: audited utilisation against a defined project.

          Programmes you can fund

          Each runs independently and can be scoped to a district, a school cluster or a single site.

          01

          Shaktishala

          Our flagship programme, and a district transformation model built around schools. Access, education, safe disposal and support delivered together across an entire district rather than school by school, with primary focus on India's aspirational districts.

          Every school gets IoT-enabled pad vending and PadBank storage, Sakhi peer champions and a trained nodal teacher, with dashboard monitoring and helpline escalation behind it. It runs on a three-year Start–Strengthen–Sustain cycle designed to move ownership to the school and the district rather than leave when funding ends.

          Proven through Naari Samman with Indus Towers: 210 government schools across 5 districts and 3 states, 65,000+ adolescent girls reached, 40,000+ community women engaged, 200+ teachers and 200+ ASHAs trained.

          02

          PadBank

          Menstrual products and menstrual health education delivered together to the communities that need them. Products can be disposable or reusable cloth pads, depending on what works and what is sustainable in that community.

          PadBank is where most of our direct reach has come from, and it runs as individually named projects with individual corporate partners — Sankalp, Udaan, Kishori, Laadli, Aasha, Saheli and others — so a CSR partnership gets its own identity rather than disappearing into a general fund.

          03

          Sakhi

          Training that turns women into menstrual educators. Sakhis complete our curriculum and then run awareness and education sessions in their own communities and schools.

          It is the programme that makes menstrual literacy local and self-sustaining — the education continues after our team leaves, because the educator lives there.

          04

          PinkPad

          The reusable cloth pad we manufacture ourselves. A finished product offered as the sustainable alternative to disposables: lower cost over its life, far less waste, and made by the women trained under Praveena.

          05

          Praveena

          Tailoring skills training for women and girls, where trainees manufacture reusable cloth pads as they learn. One programme, two outcomes — an employable skill and a livelihood, and the PinkPad supply itself. Trainees learn and earn in the same process.

          06

          Period Bol Van

          A mobile awareness unit built for a project with Amazon. The van carries a large LCD screen and takes menstrual health films directly into communities, stopping in public spaces so that men, boys and women watch together.

          It is aimed at normalising periods in the open rather than educating girls privately — which is where stigma actually breaks.

          A District Collector on what changed in his schools

          This is an edited extract from a longer interview recorded in Adilabad, Telangana. It relates to Pinkishe's completed work in that district and is a comment on that programme. It is not an endorsement of this fundraise, of any instrument, or of Pinkishe Foundation's fund raising on the Social Stock Exchange.

          Padbank Overview

          A regulated giving pathway for social impact

          Pinkishe Foundation is preparing a proposed public issue of Zero Coupon Zero Principal instruments on NSE Social Stock Exchange.

          ZCZP instruments do not carry coupon, interest or principal repayment. They are intended for contributors who want to support a defined social objective through a regulated route.

          The funds will be linked to a defined 12-month menstrual health project in Sarangarh, Chhattisgarh.

          What contributor funds will enable

          The proposed issue supports a complete school and community menstrual health system, not only product distribution.

          Theory of Change

          The project begins with inputs, but the design is driven by the long-term change we want for girls.

          1. Impact

          Girls manage menstruation with dignity, confidence and fewer barriers to education.

          2. Outcomes

          Improved pad access, safer disposal, better menstrual knowledge, reduced stigma and silence, lower period-related absenteeism.

          3. Outputs

          100 schools equipped, 20,000 schoolgirls reached, 5,000 women engaged, Sakhis and nodal teachers trained, dashboard and helpline operational.

          4. Activities

          Install machines, conduct sessions, train Sakhis and nodal teachers, run refills, monitor usage, conduct baseline and endline assessment.

          5. Inputs

          ZCZP issue proceeds subject to subscription, field team, machines, pads, IEC material, permissions, dashboard, helpline and reporting systems.
