About:
My name is Atish Ghosh. I am 16 years old and in Grade 12 at the EuroSchool, Airoli. Martial Arts, Football, reading books and playing video games are a few of my hobbies. I am very passionate about helping others especially those who are less privileged than I am. Personally, for me, the most important thing and probably the the only thing that makes me truly happy is to make a difference in another person's life.
For girls and women from financially weak backgrounds, access to sanitary napkins is a luxury. They often resort to unhygienic alternatives which can be very hazardous to health. Sanitary napkins are a basic necessity for every woman. The cost of providing reusable sanitary napkins which would last for 2 years is only INR 250.
Through this campaign, I intend to give them a menstrual hygiene kit that is cost-effective, lasts long, and is not too bulky. The Hygiene kit consist of 2 regular shields, 6 regular liners, 1 large shield, 2 large liners, 1 Instruction manual, 1 ziplock bag and 1 drawstring bag to hold everything together. These are stitched by women from low-income homes thus serving as a source of livelihood for them.
I request all of you to support my campaign. Let's come together and do our bit to transform lives.
