HOPE IN ACTION – SAFE DAYS

BTG Trust, in collaboration with the Tamil Nadu Education Department, implemented its menstrual hygiene initiative #SafeDays at Government Girls Higher Secondary School, Thondamuthur, on 29.01.2025.
A sanitary napkin vending machine was installed, directly benefiting 704 girl students by ensuring convenient and private access to menstrual products.
Comprehensive awareness sessions were conducted to educate students on safe menstrual hygiene practices and break prevailing taboos.
The initiative has contributed to improved school attendance, enhanced confidence among students, and a healthier learning environment.
By addressing both accessibility and awareness, this project promotes dignity, empowerment, and long-term well-being for adolescent girls.
HopeInAction – SafeDays stands as a model for sustainable menstrual health initiatives in schools.
