WALKING MILES WITH SMILES: How Unipads is making positive waves in Gujarat with TGB Charity
TGB Charity & Unipads join hands for Big Social Initiative
It’s 6.00 AM and 15-Year-Old Bina is up for a new day. She’s excited
to join other girls in the classroom at village school. But Bina’s mother is not
sure on how she’ll continue her daughter’s schooling.
Reason Being?
The common concern every Indian mother has for her daughter-
PERIOD.
Start of a Girl’s Life.
It may come as a surprise to you, but every year millions of young girls across
thousands of Indian villages, are forced to quit their schools.
It’s just because they have:
- Low awareness on Menstrual Hygiene Issues and
-
It’s also because their families’ financial position doesn’t allow
them to
go for pricy products available in the nearby cities.
So, what’s the solution to this issue?
BIRTH OF A BIG MISSION
“The empowered woman is powerful beyond
measure and beautiful beyond imagination”
-Steve Maraboli

adolescent school girls across various Indian villages, Unipads stood up quickly and
decided to address these issues at all possible levels.
