April 2023

In April 2023, Siddharth Samajik Vikas Sanstha organized a Free Sanitary Kit Distribution Drive as part of its efforts to support the health and well-being of school-going girls.

The main goal of this activity was to help girls from rural and remote areas maintain proper menstrual hygiene and feel confident during their school days. Many girls still lack access to basic sanitary products, and this initiative aimed to address that need with care and dignity.

During this drive, 85 sanitary kits were distributed in Jaoli Taluka to students from the following schools:

• Shri Shankar Bhagoji Shelar Secondary School, Andhari

• New English Medium Junior College, Andhari

• Zilla Parishad Primary Central School, Andhari

• Aapti High School, Aapti

• Panchkroshi Vidyalaya, Malchaundi

• New English School, Kusumbimura

This distribution helped students manage their health safely and comfortably, while also encouraging regular school attendance. The April 2023 drive was a meaningful step toward creating awareness about menstrual hygiene and supporting young girls in continuing their education without barriers.
