My name is Anish Gupta and I am a Grade 11 student at ISH.

Across India, there are a variety of topics that are held as 'taboo', however, one highly controversial and prevalent topic is Menstruation. Throughout India young girls are unaware of the true nature behind this process and how to deal with it. This leads to a severe lack of hygiene amongst a large group of Indian girls as they don't know how to properly deal with their cycles. This can lead to many girls losing confidence within themselves, which can then cause them to end up taking actions like dropping out of school. These actions can have severe impacts on their lives and I believe that this needs to change.

I am doing this campaign to help raise awareness and funds to provide hygiene kits to girls from poor homes who study in govt schools across Telangana.

The hygiene kit consists of sanitary pads (a year's supply), undergarments, tissues, and other hygiene products. These kits are distributed by the NGO - Habitat for Humanity, India.

The cost of this hygiene kit (including distributing it) is just INR 1100.

Help me support 20 or more girls by raising INR 22000 or more. Together we can help transform their lives. If I raise more I can help change the lives of more girls. Not having sanitary pads or undergarments should not be a reason for girls to drop out of school.

Our efforts will help more girls in schools across Telangana, "Stay at school".
