Overview

We at Action for Impact under our ROSHNI Fellowship project believe that teachers and educators play an important role in creating future leaders enabled with skills and knowledge. Also they are instrumental in disseminating knowledge among adolescent’s about mental health, gender equality and menstrual hygiene. Formerly this initiative was known as The Period Project.

We also help them understand menstrual hygiene management, MHM best practices, and train them as facilitators and also help them understand how to minimise barriers.
