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.
