My name is Vedaang Kharya. I am 14 years old and in Grade 10A at the EuroSchool, Airoli. I am very passionate about helping others especially those who are less privileged than I am. For me, true satisfaction and happiness come when I truly help someone in need. I love to donate to charity whenever possible and my hobby is to study and perform magic tricks.

For girls and women from financially weak backgrounds, access to sanitary napkins is a luxury. They often resort to unhygienic alternatives which can be very hazardous to health. Sanitary napkins are a basic necessity for every woman. The cost of providing reusable sanitary napkins which would last for 2 years is only INR 250.

Through this campaign, I intend to give them a menstrual hygiene kit that is cost-effective, lasts long, and is not too bulky. The Hygiene kit consists of 2 regular shields, 6 regular liners, 1 large shield, 2 large liners, 1 Instruction manual, 1 ziplock bag, and 1 drawstring bag to hold everything together. These are stitched by women from low-income homes thus serving as a source of livelihood for them.

I request all of you to support these women playing your role and making a difference which will impact the society in many ways to come. Let's come together and do our bit to transform lives.
