          Highlights of the week

          Trust-Based Philanthropy

          In the face of increasingly complex and, sometimes rapidly, changing needs on the ground, it is crucial to take a step back and reconsider the status quo.

          APAC Sustainability Seed Fund 2.0

          By leveraging the success of the first round of the APAC Sustainability Seed Fund, AVPN continues to mobilise continuum of capital into supporting climate solutions in the region.

          Faith and Giving

          Faith, and the values, belief systems, moral codes, and religious doctrines, that underlie it, shape much of philanthropy across the world. From addressing needs in underserved communities to investing in sustainable energy solutions, faith-aligned givers are demonstrating that compassion can be a catalyst for a more just and equitable world. However, the fundamental drivers of faith-aligned giving often remain unexamined.

Problem

The Pudukottai District, being one of the most backward districts in the state of Tamil Nadu has poor social economic conditions and the people in these villages lack the knowledge about best practices for hygienic living, menstrual hygiene management and adopting nutrition in their way of life.



We strive to work towards helping people in these marginalized communities adopt practices that are nutritious, good for menstrual health management and to get them access to a hygienic way of living.

Solution

At Gramalaya, we aim to address the issue of an unhygienic and poor quality of living in marginalized communities through the following ways:


    
 	
  • Spread Awareness and Educate - To equip women and girls in villages on menstrual hygiene practices, through CBOs (Community-based organisations) and their capacity building plus training programmes. Through social marketing and with the help of trained health educators form Gramalaya , we encourage and support female community members to use eco-friendly reusable cloth pads.
    • 
 	
  • Education on MHM (Menstrual Hygiene Management) - To girls studying in the schools of Pudukottai District through interactive sessions and IEC (Information Education Communication) materials designed by Gramalaya.
    • 
 	
  • Smart Toilets - We construct smart toilets for the rural poor who have very less infrastructure in terms of toilet coverage, and support them to carry out hygienic practices.
    •
