Our Vision

To create a future where every woman has access to affordable menstrual hygiene products and where women-led sanitary pad production units provide a sustainable livelihood to women across India.

Our Mission

To empower women by setting up sanitary pad production units and sanitary marts across India, providing employment opportunities while ensuring that quality hygiene products reach women in need. By connecting producers directly with beneficiaries, we aim to reduce product costs and make menstrual hygiene accessible to all.

Empowering Women Through Livelihood

Establish sanitary pad production units across the country to provide women with stable income and entrepreneurial opportunities.

Promoting Menstrual Hygiene

Ensure that women across India have access to affordable, high-quality sanitary pads, promoting menstrual health and hygiene.

Reducing Inflation in Hygiene Products

By connecting producers directly with consumers, we aim to reduce the costs associated with middlemen, thereby making hygiene products more affordable.

Building a National Network

Expand our reach by setting up production units and distribution channels across rural and urban areas of India, connecting more women to this life-changing initiative.

Establishing Sanitary Pad Production Units

We are working to set up women-led sanitary pad production units in different regions of India, focusing on both rural and urban areas. These units are designed to:

• Provide Livelihood: Women are trained and employed in the production of sanitary pads, giving them a steady source of income and entrepreneurial skills.
• Create Affordable Products: By producing sanitary pads locally, we are able to reduce production and distribution costs, making the products more affordable for women in need.
• Support Local Communities: Each production unit becomes a hub for community growth, where women support each other through skills development and business opportunities.

We collaborate with Common Service Centers (CSC) and NASKC (Govt. of India) to ensure these production units operate effectively and sustainably, with access to the best training, raw materials, and market access.

Direct-to-Beneficiary Model

One of the core goals of Stree Shawbhiman is to connect producers directly with beneficiaries, removing intermediaries and reducing the cost of sanitary pads. This model ensures:

• Affordable Products: By eliminating the middlemen, we are able to reduce the cost of sanitary products, making them more accessible to low-income women and girls.
• Direct Support: Women in need, especially those from marginalized communities, can directly benefit from quality sanitary products, improving their health and hygiene.
• Sustainable Livelihoods: Producers get fair compensation for their work, ensuring long-term sustainability for both the production units and the women they employ.

Sanitary Marts and Distribution

In addition to production, Stree Shawbhiman aims to set up Sanitary Marts in key locations, where women can access affordable hygiene products directly. These marts:

• Serve as retail outlets: For locally-produced sanitary pads.
• Promote awareness: Of menstrual hygiene through workshops, outreach programs, and informational campaigns.
• Provide additional income: For women who manage and operate these marts.

Health & Hygiene Awareness Campaigns

We understand that providing access to sanitary products is only part of the solution. Stree Shawbhiman also focuses on spreading awareness about menstrual health and hygiene through:

• Educational workshops: We conduct workshops for women and girls in schools, communities, and workplaces to educate them about the importance of menstrual hygiene.
• Health camps: Partnering with local health professionals, we organize health camps to address women's health issues and provide free or low-cost sanitary products.
• Outreach programs: We work in collaboration with local government bodies, NGOs, and healthcare organizations to reach remote and underserved communities, ensuring that no woman is left behind.

Women Empowerment

By setting up sanitary pad production units, we are providing women with valuable entrepreneurial skills and a source of steady income, empowering them to take control of their futures.

Improved Health & Hygiene

Access to affordable, high-quality sanitary products ensures that women, especially in rural and underprivileged areas, can maintain good menstrual hygiene, reducing health risks associated with poor menstrual care.

Economic Growth

Our initiative not only empowers women but also contributes to the local economy by creating jobs and fostering a sustainable supply chain for hygiene products.
