Unfortunately, not even a pandemic stops a woman from getting her period, so on top of the threat of COVID-19, many women in rural areas of India are also dealing with infections that are caused by using unsanitary rags to manage their menstruation.
.
This is why, even at times like these, we are dedicated to producing and distributing low-cost, high-quality sanitary napkins through our Asani program. Your donations are even more necessary now than ever to keep this program running, so learn more and donate here: https://www.thedesaifoundation.org/our-work/sanitary-napkin-program/

We are working to end such damaging period #stigmas through our Asani Sanitary Napkin program. Follow the link in our bio to learn more
