In a significant
step towards promoting menstrual hygiene and sanitation, Doon Rotary
Shivalik Hills donated 3,600 sanitary pads and donated pink
toilets at B.S. Negi Mahila Pravidhik Prashikshan Sansthan. This
initiative aims to empower young girls and women by ensuring access to
essential hygiene products and safe sanitation facilities.
Supporting
Menstrual Hygiene
Menstrual hygiene
remains a critical issue, especially in educational institutions where young
girls often struggle due to a lack of awareness and resources. By distributing
3,600 sanitary pads, the Sansthan aims to provide a sustainable
solution, to the young girls to manage their menstrual health with dignity and
confidence. This initiative will also contribute to reducing absenteeism among
female students, as many are forced to miss school due to inadequate hygiene
facilities. These sanitary pads were duly distributed among the students of all
the classes including all the students of the Sansthan.
Installation of
Pink Toilets
Along with the
sanitary pad donation, pink toilets have been donated to the Sansthan to
provide a clean, private, and safe space for female students and staff. These
specially designed toilets would cater to the specific needs of women and
girls, addressing both hygiene and safety concerns. Proper sanitation
facilities play a crucial role in promoting health, preventing infections, and
ensuring overall well-being.
A Commitment to
Women's Welfare
The Doon
Rotary Shivalik Hills, under the leadership of President Mr. Prashant
Ghildiyal and Assistant Governor Mr. Puneet Tandon, has
received widespread appreciation from the school authorities, students, and the
local community for its impactful initiatives. Their dedication to addressing
crucial hygiene and sanitation issues reflects a strong commitment to social
welfare, women's empowerment, and public health.
A special acknowledgment goes to Mrs. Namita Mamgain, Principal of B.S. Negi MPPS, whose relentless efforts ensure that the students receive the best possible education, facilities, and support. Her proactive approach in fostering a nurturing and progressive learning environment has been instrumental in the success of this initiative.
