Periods Don't Stop for COVID19 Pandemic Help Girls
Organization information
Center for Women's Development and Research
Location: Chennai, India
Summary
The consequences of the COVID-19 outbreak are felt most acutely by the marginalized, particularly women and girls. Due to lack of money and gender perspective hardly any government money goes toward adolescent girls. The lack of proper menstrual health management may lead to greater risks of infections. The limited food intake now would also aggravate the health of already malnourished girls. We are planning to provide sanitary pads and supplementary nutrition for 1000 poor adolescent girls. Important Notice about Projects in India: We expect that there will be significant delays in getting funds to this project due to new regulatory requirements that impact GlobalGiving's ability to disburse to Indian-banked organizations. GlobalGiving is working hard to address the issue, but there is a chance that we will be unable to disburse funds to this project. If we cannot disburse funds, donations to this project may be reallocated to another organization per our terms and conditions.
