Before:
Savita Desai, a housekeeping worker from Belapur, struggled with limited income and lacked awareness about menstrual hygiene. Due to financial constraints and social taboos, she followed unsafe menstrual practices and silently suffered from infections and discomfort.

Intervention:
Through Aarine Foundation’s menstrual hygiene initiative, she attended an awareness session and received free sanitary napkins along with proper guidance on safe usage and disposal.

Transformation:
With improved knowledge and access to sanitary products, her health condition improved, financial burden reduced, and she gained confidence to openly discuss menstrual health with her daughters.

Current Status:
Savita now follows safe menstrual hygiene practices, experiences fewer health issues, and actively spreads awareness within her community.

Future Goal:
To ensure her daughters grow up informed and confident, and to help other women break menstrual taboos.
