A quick snapshot of Pinkishe Foundation’s proposed ZCZP issue on
NSE Social Stock Exchange.
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 upto you.
Under the MCA rule of 27 May 2026, companies can deploy up to 10 percent of their annual CSR budget through this route.
contributes to pad access for a schoolgirl through the year.
places one PadBank vending unit with its first stock of pads in a school.
funds one complete school for twelve months: machine, pads, curriculum sessions, trained teacher, student champions, disposal and monitoring.
funds ten schools, reaching about 2,000 girls.
funds fifty schools, half the district programme.
funds the entire district programme as anchor contributor.
Whatever the size, the reporting is the same. Every contributor receives the same audited utilisation reporting on a defined project, and we will be equally grateful for each one.

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.
Girls need reliable menstrual products available inside the school when they need them.
Correct menstrual health education helps girls understand their bodies with confidence and dignity.
Safe disposal support helps schools create cleaner, more comfortable menstrual health environments.
Sakhis, nodal teachers and community workers can help make menstrual health conversations easier and more trusted.

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.
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.

The project begins with inputs, but the design is driven by the long-term change we want for girls.
Girls manage menstruation with dignity, confidence and fewer barriers to education.
Improved pad access, safer disposal, better menstrual knowledge, reduced stigma and silence, lower period-related absenteeism.
100 schools equipped, 20,000 schoolgirls reached, 5,000 women engaged, Sakhis and nodal teachers trained, dashboard and helpline operational.
Install machines, conduct sessions, train Sakhis and nodal teachers, run refills, monitor usage, conduct baseline and endline assessment.
ZCZP issue proceeds subject to subscription, field team, machines, pads, IEC material, permissions, dashboard, helpline and reporting systems.
