Gauri, a student at a residential school in Karnataka, was frightened and overwhelmed when she got her first period. Through the Infosys Foundation Girls' Wellness Program, Ambika Madam became a trusted guide, helping her understand menstruation and manage it with confidence and dignity.
Months later, on the day of an important Taluk-level sports competition, Gauri got her period and almost withdrew from the race. With encouragement from Ambika Madam and access to sanitary pads, she found the confidence to step onto the track.
Today, Gauri stands proud as a winner, proving that menstruation is no barrier to her dreams.
She won the race and secured a place at the State-Level Event. Today, Gauri no longer sees menstruation as a barrier. She pursues every opportunity with confidence, proving that no girl should have to choose between her period and her dreams.
