We are dedicating this galentine's day to all of the women who have given their time and energy to help educate and empower other women through our Asani Sanitary program, which employs women to manufacture and distribute feminine hygiene products to those who might not otherwise have access to them. Remember to celebrate your sisters today, because we are #bettertogether

Our vocational training programs are designed to help women in rural India learn a variety of skills that give them the ability to increase household income, leading to immediate improvement in their quality of life. Since November of last year, we have been partnering with the Gram Vikas Trust on our 2nd round of classes in sewing, beauty parlor and computer skills in three different blocks of the Bharuch District, with a projected impact of 225 women by the 17th of this month!

Since 2017, we have trained more than 250 women living in rural India in the production and distribution of our low-cost, high-quality sanitary napkins as part of our Asani Sanitary Napkin program. Through this training, participants increase their income, respect and dignity while also providing the women in their communities with the menstrual health products they need for healthy periods.
