Empowering Girls Through Menstrual Hygiene Support

Free Sanitary Pads and Awareness Programs by Tavin Foundation

At Tavin Foundation, we believe that access to education and health should not be hindered by biological factors, especially something as natural as menstruation. However, in many parts of the world, including underserved communities in India, menstruation is still a taboo subject. Many young girls face barriers to proper menstrual hygiene, which not only impacts their health but also their ability to attend school regularly.

To address this critical issue, Tavin Foundation has launched a comprehensive program to provide free sanitary pads to girl students and raise awareness about menstrual hygiene. Our goal is to ensure that no girl misses out on her education due to lack of access to menstrual products or information, while also promoting a supportive environment that empowers girls to manage their menstrual health with dignity.

Why Menstrual Hygiene Matters for Education & Health

Reducing Absenteeism

Menstruation is one of the leading causes of school absenteeism for girls in India. Many girls miss several days of school each month because they do not have access to sanitary products or face embarrassment due to the stigma surrounding periods. By providing free sanitary pads, Tavin Foundation ensures that girls can attend school every day, regardless of their menstrual cycle.

Preventing Health Issues

Poor menstrual hygiene can lead to a range of health problems, including infections, reproductive issues, and long-term health complications. Using unsanitary materials such as cloth or ash can put girls at risk. Our initiative focuses on distributing sanitary pads to ensure that girls have access to clean and safe menstrual products, thereby safeguarding their health.

Breaking the Stigma

Cultural taboos and lack of awareness around menstruation prevent many girls from seeking help or even discussing the topic openly. This leads to a lack of education on how to properly manage menstrual hygiene, resulting in shame and isolation. By conducting menstrual hygiene awareness programs in schools, we are working to break the stigma and empower girls to take control of their menstrual health.

How Tavin Foundation is Making a Difference

Free Distribution of Sanitary Pads

We distribute free sanitary pads to girl students in schools across underserved regions. This ensures that all girls have access to the menstrual products they need to manage their periods hygienically, without financial burden on their families.

Menstrual Hygiene Awareness Workshops

In addition to providing sanitary pads, Tavin Foundation organizes educational workshops on menstrual hygiene management. These workshops cover important topics such as the menstrual cycle, proper use and disposal of sanitary pads, and the importance of maintaining cleanliness during menstruation. Our goal is to equip girls with the knowledge and confidence they need to manage their menstrual health effectively.

Engaging Communities and Schools

We work closely with schools and community leaders to create a supportive environment for girls. Teachers and staff are trained to understand the challenges girls face during menstruation and how they can provide support. We also encourage open conversations within communities to normalize menstruation and dispel harmful myths.

The Impact of Our Program

Through our menstrual hygiene program, Tavin Foundation is not only helping girls stay in school but also promoting better health outcomes. Girls who have access to sanitary pads are less likely to suffer from infections and other health complications. Moreover, by raising awareness about menstrual hygiene, we are fostering a generation of girls who are empowered to manage their periods without shame or fear.

Looking Ahead

Our vision is to expand this program to reach even more schools and communities. We aim to create an environment where menstruation is no longer a barrier to education or a source of stigma. By providing the necessary resources and education, Tavin Foundation is empowering girls to take charge of their health and future.
