PROJECT SWASTHYA
Project “Swasthya”, our first project, is a humble effort to eliminate period shame amongst adolescent girls & women. In this endeavor, we distribute biodegradable sanitary pads to deserving adolescent girls & women, both amongst urban and rural poor. Sustainable solutions are the core of each and every activity Befriend Life Foundation will undertake and the sanitary pad as well as its packing is completely environment-friendly and biodegradable.
Aims to provide ecofriendly and sustainable solutions for the health and hygiene of our rural and tribal population
