End the stigma, not her Education.
No girl or woman should suffer in silence from period shame.
Our Mission
We passionately advocate for sustainable Menstrual Hygiene Management, empowering women and girls with knowledge and resources for informed choice ensuring their dignity and well-being, and driving lasting social change.
We continually train educators, NGOs, community leaders, self help groups, businesses, government institutions and agencies thereby expanding outreach to millions of underservered population.
Our Impact
Sustainable Menstruation Matters!
In India, out of 355 million menstruating women, only about 36% use sanitary products and each year, India sees 12 billion pads thrown away, burdening our landfills for over 500 years or adding toxins to our air. The hidden cost? Every 17 pads thrown out take $1 from our environment in damages.
We can't overlook the human cost either. Many young women miss out on their education due to inadequate period care, with a staggering 24% dropping out of school.
At Aakar Social Ventures, we stand for a world where menstruation is healthy and eco-friendly. Our mission is to spread awareness on safe, sustainable options that protect women's health and our planet, while also keeping girls in school.
Join us in shaping a future where every period is safe for both women and the world they live in.
