Menstrual Health, Sewing & Women’s Economic Empowerment
What began as a reusable sanitary pad project has grown into a women-led sewing and economic empowerment initiative.
In 2025:
- TERJA donated four additional sewing machines, bringing the total to six machines in the village
- More than 90 girls and women participated and are engaged.
- Women sewed reusable sanitary pads, underwear, bags, dresses, and clothing
- Ongoing menstrual health workshops were held in January, May, and September
- Women practiced table banking, saving money together and reinvesting in materials
- School dropouts joined the group, gaining skills, confidence, and income pathways
This project continues to reduce period poverty while creating sustainable livelihoods and leadership opportunities.
