Project Mahavari 

Project Mahavari was a national campaign initiated by Youthika in March 2021, aimed at improving the menstrual hygiene condition of India. Project Mahavari included two things. Firstly, sessions were provided to hundreds of school girls, they were educated about menstrual hygiene, myths, and safety; guided and counseled regarding the same. Secondly, underprivileged girls and women across the nation were provided with sanitary kits with stock for up to 5 years. These kits would be taken from Project Inayat, a self-help group of rural women, hence providing them with an employment opportunity. Project Mahavari took place in numerous cities of Maharashtra, Odhisha, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Telangana, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, and Delhi. This project included various collaborations with local, state, national, and international organizations. Our official hygiene partners for the campaign were PeeSafe.
