We thank MITU Foundation very much for giving 25 packets of sanitary pads every month to our girls and women in the shelter. It is very important to them for their monthly period. We are educating them to maintain cleanliness and hygiene and teaching them how to dispose the pads after use. We are expecting the same support next year and we thank you once again for your support.



Paraspara Trust



MITU has been an extended family to me as the staff and volunteers share a common social responsibility, comfort feeling which is uncommon in our modernized society.



Padmaja Kurpad

Trustee



MITU makes it very easy for the girls to open up, share and ask questions about menstruation which have been in their minds for many years sometimes. We have seen a lot of changes in the girls after doing the sessions with MITU.
