Empowering Change: The Impact of NOBA GSR's Sangini Project

The Sangini Project by NOBA GSR aims to improve menstrual hygiene for schoolgirls in rural and semi-urban areas of Bihar and Jharkhand. It addresses issues such as stigma and lack of access to sanitary products, aiming to reduce absenteeism in over 700 schools by providing resources and promoting awareness.

The Sangini Project by the Netarhat Old Boys' Association - Global Social Responsibility (NOBA GSR) is spearheading efforts to improve menstrual hygiene for schoolgirls in rural and semi-urban India. Focusing on areas like Bihar and Jharkhand, the initiative has significantly impacted the lives of over two lakh girls.

By ensuring access to sanitary pads and eco-friendly disposal methods in schools, the project addresses critical barriers faced by adolescent girls during their menstrual cycles. The lack of proper hygiene products has long been a reason for absenteeism and unhealthy practices in these regions.

NOBA GSR's Co-founder, Vikash Ranjan, emphasizes the importance of considering menstrual health as a collective responsibility, seeking to transform social mindsets and eliminate stigma. With over 700 schools already benefiting, the project marks a significant step towards empowering girls with dignity, health, and confidence.
