Menstrual health and hygiene are vital to women’s well-being, yet many girls in India still lack access to essential menstrual products and safe disposal facilities. This leads to absenteeism, dropouts, and health issues. To address this, we propose installing sanitary pad vending machines and incinerators in government schools, ensuring girls have access to menstrual products and proper disposal options.

Goal:
To improve menstrual hygiene management (MHM) in government schools by providing access to sanitary pads and safe disposal facilities, reducing absenteeism, promoting health, and empowering girls to continue their education with dignity.

Project Need:

• School Attendance: Many girls miss school due to lack of menstrual products and disposal facilities, leading to poor academic performance.
• Access to Sanitary Products: Many schools lack resources, forcing girls to use unhygienic alternatives, causing health risks.
• Disposal Facilities: Without proper disposal options, menstrual waste is poorly managed, creating environmental and health hazards.
• Social Stigma: Misinformation and stigma about menstruation prevent girls from seeking help and accessing resources.

By installing vending machines and incinerators in schools, we aim to ensure menstrual hygiene, break the stigma, and help girls stay in school and lead healthier lives.
