Summary
FICCI-FLO, the non-profit arm of FICCI is providing throughout India machines with female hygiene/menstruation products. The lack of know-how, and affordable and available solutions, is a big problem for girls and women in poor and rural areas.
Our Support
We have teamed with FICCI-FLO to bring awareness and education by adding educational inserts to their menstrual products/machines to teach girls and women about female reproduction and best hygiene practices. We are developing the written content as well as directions in pictorial form. The cost of content development is covered by MCN Foundation. We are raising funds to be able to produce the educational content in small packages so that we can deliver it through the FICCI-FLO vending machines and Women’s Happiness Kits that provide personal hygiene products for girls studying in government schools and shelter homes.
