Menstruation is a painful time in a woman’s life, isn’t it? It doesn’t help that it occurs every month. But for a lot of women in India that pain is much bigger than we will ever experience. 88% of India’s 355 million menstruating women don’t use sanitary napkins. Instead they resort to shocking alternatives like unsanitised cloth, ashes and husk sand. This makes the menstruation phase extremely uncomfortable. What’s worse, the bad hygiene leads to infection, diseases and sometime even death. Most of these women can’t afford sanitary napkins. Sadly, they are not even aware of their health risk they are at. Only an angel can make a difference to their lives. An angel like you.

Help other angels

An average woman menstruates for nearly 7 years of her life. For a large number of women that natural process amounts to monthly suffering, as they don’t have access to good protection in that time. Angels like you can change that.

Arunachalam Muruganantham has already spent a lifetime bring about this change. He has created a simple machine to make sanitary napkins at an incredibly low-cost. By empowering women’s self help groups to operate these machines, his invention is giving millions of women in India access to hygiene and protection.

We have partnered with him in this endeavour to help as many young women as we can. Now, so can you, by subscribing to a Happiness Package.
