Millennium Fellowship Project: Project Nirmol
The measurable goals are designed to track tangible impact on both students and community members. We aim to distribute 100 sanitary pads per school visit, ensuring that women and girls in participating communities have access to proper menstrual hygiene products. Flashcards on sanitation and menstrual education will be distributed to 40 students per pilot school, with at least 80% of students demonstrating understanding of key concepts through short quizzes or interactive activities.
