Support My Campaign
Tata Mumbai Marathon 2024
Every year, 23 million girls in India drop out of school after reaching puberty.
Right after their first period, young girls from rural and urban communities struggle to maintain regular attendance at school due to problems that come with menstruation.
Absence of toilets, lack of access to sanitary pads and lack of education on menstrual hygiene are the contributing reasons for this high rate of drop out. It is time to break free of shame and constraints attached to menstruation.
When you campaign for Stay at School, you will help girls from less fortunate communities in India break free from constraints of menstruation and ensure uninterrupted learning at school by raising funds to:
i. Provide access to health and hygiene kits consisting of sanitary pads,
ii. Counseling on menstruation, and
iii. Build gender segregated sanitation units

About Me
I'm Ananya Hingorani, a resident of Mumbai. I'm studying at The Gateway School Of Mumbai. I have a keen interest in doing something which is of social help to people, so I have chosen the 'Stay at School ' campaign, focusing on rural people, adolescent girls who need separate sanitation facilities.
