PARI PADS | Save the Child

PARI PADS, an initiative by Save the Child Foundation, aims to combat period poverty by providing safe and accessible menstrual products to girls and women. The goal is to enhance productivity by ensuring uninterrupted access to menstrual hygiene products. In 2023, the initiative distributed 80,000 PARI PADS (10,000 packets) to those in need. Additionally, on Menstrual Hygiene Day, May 28, 2024, the initiative successfully distributed 30,000 pads (3,750 packets). This effort not only includes disposable biodegradable pads like PARI PADS but also promotes sustainable alternatives such as BAALA PADS and menstrual cups. By enabling women and girls to safely manage their menstrual cycles, the initiative contributes to their overall health and productivity.

Vision and Strategy

Pari Pad, fondly known as 'The Gender Equality Pad,' has been instrumental in ending period poverty for countless girls over the past eight years since the inception of the PARI platform. Our commitment to this cause remains unwavering as we continue to empower and uplift communities. Join us in this mission to make a difference.

Operations

Leading the PARI Pads initiative, I have witnessed the transformative impact of our work firsthand. In 2023 alone, we distributed 80,000 pads, helping to break down barriers and promote gender equality. Our mission to end period poverty is more than just providing pads—it's about empowering countless girls to pursue their dreams without hindrance.
