PUREFemme, a menstrual hygiene awareness campaign, is focused on educating adolescent girls in managing menstruation adequately and with dignity. The goal of the program is to not let menstruation impact our girl’s right to education. Facilitating easy access to hygiene products and demonstrating their usage, interactive sessions to help them understand puberty, including teachers & boys in the conversation to create normalcy around this culturally forbidden topic will ensure a supportive environment.

PURE Femme's Goals:
PROVIDE Education on menstrual hygiene to girls so that they are confident and empowered to make informed decisions on how they manage menstruation.
PROMOTE Menstrual education for teachers, boys, parents so they can help break negative social norms.
ENABLE Girls to stay in school by ensuring access to hygienic menstrual products, toilets, water and disposal options.

We reach thousands of girls each month while school is in session.

In this specific project, PURE Youth Orlando and PURE Femme are joining together for a project to help support menstrual health in Less Developed Countries. We are raising money to manufacture pads for girls. The pads will be manufactured in Mamada, Nirmal, which is a small town in the Nirmal district, an underdeveloped area of the Telangana state in India. Another pro of this project is purchasing pads from this factory which supports women's rights by employing local women. The pads are also biodegradable so that we can help the environment as well. The pads are made under the name of “Sahaja” , PURE used these pads during recent COVID-19 relief activities and to also support a remote tribal village ‘Vastapur’ on a monthly basis. Sahaja pada will be PURE pads going forward. There is also no cost of shipping since they are produced and distributed in the same area of manufacturing. The pads will be distributed in Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Telangana. Other branches are also raising money for workshops to educate boys and girls to promote gender equality in conjunction with our project. Thank you in advance for donating!
