I have conducted awareness sessions, sustainable pad distribution drives, activities and webinars which are highly beneficial and informative for the girls and women. This project is linked up with several SDGs. Till date we’ve impacted over 800+ women and girls, distributed the same amount of pads, conducted 6 awareness sessions and collaborated with important organizations like Juvenile Justin board of India and Honda CSR wing.
Recently, with immense pleasure and gratitude, Project Kamakhya won the Global sustainability award for SDG 5 (gender equality) as a runner up.
