Sanitary napkins do not come cheap. This is a truth that is known by many. Though possible by some but many women still struggle to buy even the cheapest of the napkins every year.

This initiative is named as “Asmita” which means pride and is especially started for the school-going girls. Through this initiative, the schoolgirls will be taught to take care of themselves during their menstrual cycles. Also, they will be taught that this is not something to be ashamed of.
