Every contribution counts

How much can you contribute? You decide.

Every contribution maps to something specific, and every contributor is equally welcome. A CSR team may fund one school or fifty, an individual may start at ₹1,000, and someone may choose to anchor the whole fundraise. It's completely flexible and up to you.

Under the MCA rule of 27 May 2026, companies can deploy up to 10 percent of their annual CSR budget through this route.

Why schools?

Why menstrual health needs a school-based system

Menstrual health is not only about access to pads. Girls also need correct information, reliable school-level access, safe disposal options, trusted support and an environment where periods are not treated with shame.

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, Saarthis and community workers can help make menstrual health conversations easier and more trusted.

Why the Social Stock Exchange?

A regulated giving pathway for social impact

How the change happens

Theory of Change

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

Every programme is shaped to its place and its partner. The discipline behind it stays the same: written processes, trained people, and a live tracker updated within 48 hours.

1. Impact

2. Outcomes

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

3. Outputs

Every school equipped, every planned schoolgirl and woman reached, Sakhis and Saarthis trained, dashboard and helpline operational.

4. Activities

Install machines, conduct sessions, train Sakhis and Saarthis, 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.

How it works in a district

Built for grassroots delivery and accountable impact

Pinkishe works primarily on menstrual health and hygiene. This is not a side programme for us. Our work combines education, access, safe disposal, community mobilisation, technology-enabled monitoring and long-term behaviour change.

01

Focused Domain Work

Menstrual health and hygiene is Pinkishe’s core area of work. Our programmes are built around education, access, dignity, safe disposal and behaviour change.

02

Grassroots Execution

Pinkishe works inside schools and communities with girls, teachers, frontline workers and local stakeholders. This helps the project move beyond awareness into day-to-day support.

03

Technology-Enabled Monitoring

The project uses dashboard tracking, stock monitoring, field documentation and review systems to keep implementation visible, measurable and accountable.

04

Governance and Transparency

The SSE route brings structured utilisation, reporting and impact assessment. It helps contributors support a defined project through a regulated social impact pathway.

05

Scalable Delivery Systems

The model is designed around schools, Sakhis, Saarthis, community workers and monitoring systems, making it easier to extend to more districts over time.

06

Partnership Readiness

Pinkishe has experience working with schools, district stakeholders, CSR partners and community teams. This helps create smoother coordination during field implementation.
