Since initiating the Heroes for Humanity program d

Since initiating the Heroes for Humanity program during the height of a COVID wave in India, meeting the immediate needs of our target communities was our highest priority. Life-saving supplies such as masks, hygiene kits, ration kits, rapid test kits, and much more were distributed by our wonderful team of Heroes. We are incredibly proud to continue the efforts of this program and reach as many communities as possible!
Special thank you to S.P. Hinduja Banque Privée for supporting this program!

You might hear the term “menstrual equity” a lot when discussing period poverty, but what exactly is it? New York Times explains that “menstrual equity refers to equal access to hygiene products, but also to education about reproductive health. And it’s the focus of a variety of new laws and policies to provide menstrual products in prisons, shelters [and] schools.” This is why the Desai Foundation is centered around not only providing access to menstrual products for women who otherwise do not have it, but also training to manufacture and distribute sanitary napkins within their very communities.

Providing optimal care and health resources is one of the primary goals that the Heroes for Humanity program aims to achieve, and conducting various camps such as Vaccination Camps is just one of many types of care that is currently being offered in the program. With over 30,000 people vaccinated to date, we couldn’t be more proud of the progress made to support our target communities as they continue to navigate the pandemic!

It’s been six months since the Canadian government committed to creating a menstrual equity fund. The federal government has proposed the pilot project in its 2022 budget. Starting in 2022, the government will give $25 million over a span of two years to create a national pilot that helps make menstrual products available to Canadians. Women and Gender Equality Canada will be in charge of creating the project. Let’s celebrate this big milestone for Canada!
