Staying healthy: International Menstrual Hygiene Day

At CAL we have always been educating girls (and mothers) about menstrual health.  We also help them to overcome the stigma and understand that it is natural and not something to be ashamed of.

On Menstrual Hygiene Day 2020, we held a programme to spread awareness of good menstrual health management and its importance. One of our active members - Vaijyanthimala was involved in training mothers in the community to make eco – friendly, reusable sanitary cloth-pads, so they and their girls feel confident enough to attend school or work without disruptions.
