INDORE. Treasure Island and Treasure Island NEXT Mall, both of which are a part of Nexus Malls, one of India’s largest mall owners, organised an awareness programme for 250 girls residing in underprivileged society at Raghunandan Nagar, Indore on the importance of maintaining good menstrual hygiene in a bid to enable them to reach their full potential.

Promoting the ‘Janaushadhi Kendras’ initiative under the Pradhan Mantri Yojna, 1000 biodegradable sanitary pads were distributed at an orphanage in Indore, sufficient for three months of usage per participant.

Nexus Malls, under it’s CSR initiative NEXUS ONE, have collaborated with ‘UNICHARM PHARMACEUTICALS’ across their portfolio to promote awareness on menstrual health and hygiene.

They have been working towards this initiative to help women and girls in any way possible to make their life easier during menstruation. This workshop was organized in association with FEEDING INDIA NGO which aims to solve the problem of hunger, malnutrition and food waste in the country .

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Kinjal Radia, Centre Director, Treasure Island and Treasure Island NEXT Mall said, “We strongly believe that as a society, we should be removing barriers for women and girls, so they can live a full life. Basic access to menstrual hygiene like sanitary napkins, safe disposal of the same and toilets in schools/public areas are necessary to maintain a good healthy life.

We have joined hands with ‘‘UNICHARM PHARMACEUTICALS” to work towards Project Triya initiative by educating women in underprivileged areas on menstrual hygiene, giving them presentations and tips on how to maintain sanitation and provide them sufficient biodegradable sanitary napkins to sustain each participant for three months.”
