[CA] Project Kannamma




In Aug 2018, Project Kannamma, was started by providing free, biodegradable sanitary napkins to 82 students at the Government High School in Uthandi. Today, under Project Kannamma, Rotary North supports 300 girls across seven Government and Government-aided schools in the city.
The sanitary napkins are provided by the Irula Tribal Women’s Welfare Society (ITWWS) (The Irula tribes are classified as Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups.) “Women from the community make 1000 pads per day, using Arunachalam Muruganantham, aka, Padman’s machines. If the group sells 15,000 pads per month, it can sustain the families of 12 tribal women,” explains Jacob Premkumar, who works with ITWWS. The sanitary napkin, under the brand Aavaram, is prepared with natural raw materials such as cotton and wood pulp, and a pack of six costs just Rs. 22.

  1. After trying several types of washable sanitary pads and a bad experience was enough for me to go with another option like menstural cups. Unless I came across this blog considering, period products have helped me. Menstrual cup helped me over the struggles of sanitary pads like rashes, cramps etc. To know more information about Menstural Cups and Its Types kindly visit here: https://hygieneandyou.com/
