Pinkishe Foundation has been at the forefront of raising awareness about menstrual hygiene among schoolgirls and women for the past seven years. Continuing its efforts, the foundation, in collaboration with P&G Whisper, has launched 'Project Kishori.' This initiative focuses on conducting awareness sessions on menstrual health and hygiene through street plays in government schools across Meerut, Baghpat, Bulandshahr, and Hapur, reaching out to 600 participants. Under the Kishori Project, Pinkishe Foundation successfully organized awareness campaigns in villages and schools in the Pareetgarh, Rohata, and Rajpura blocks of Meerut. The street plays portrayed the utility of sanitary pads in a relatable and engaging manner. Instead of embarrassment, confidence sparkled in the eyes of women and schoolgirls. They were pleased to find solutions to their menstrual-related concerns. School teachers and principals also appreciated the initiative and extended their full support. Through Project Kishori, Pinkishe Foundation aims to reach out to schoolgirls and women who find menstruation uncomfortable due to ignorance and superstitions surrounding this natural process. Rajrani Sharma, the leader of Pinkishe Foundation's Meerut branch, and Poonam Rana, the project manager of Project Kishori, provided ample support in implementing this program in Meerut. This unique and commendable initiative continues to make a positive impact by educating and empowering women and girls about menstrual hygiene.
