Description

The Rotaract Club of Atria I.T. has marked a significant milestone with the successful completion of the 4th phase of its ambitious year-long project, Saathi. This phase saw the generous donation of over 210 sanitary napkins to the Sumangali Seva Ashram, an organization dedicated to supporting underprivileged girls and women. The ashram, home to over 80 girls, now stands to benefit greatly from this essential contribution, which aims to improve menstrual health and hygiene—a critical yet often overlooked aspect of women's health. Saathi, which translates to "companion" or "partner," is aptly named, reflecting the club's commitment to being a steadfast ally in the community's efforts towards better health and wellness. This ongoing project was designed with a clear vision: to provide continuous support and resources to those in need, fostering an environment where young women can thrive without the additional burden of health and hygiene concerns. In many parts of the world, access to sanitary products is still limited, and this can have far-reaching impacts on education, self-esteem, and overall well-being. Recognizing this, the Rotaract Club of Atria I.T. has made it a mission to address these gaps through targeted initiatives like Saathi. By donating sanitary napkins to Sumangali Seva Ashram, the club is not only providing immediate relief but also raising awareness about menstrual hygiene—a crucial step towards breaking the stigma associated with menstruation. The club's dedication goes beyond mere donations; it is about building relationships and understanding the nuanced needs of the community they serve. Each phase of Saathi has been meticulously planned to ensure maximum impact, with the 4th phase being a testament to their unwavering commitment. The girls at Sumangali Seva Ashram now have one less worry, thanks to the thoughtful efforts of the Rotaract Club. This initiative underscores the power of community service and the difference that concerted, compassionate efforts can make in the lives of many. As the project progresses, the Rotaract Club of Atria Institute of Technology remains steadfast in its mission, looking forward to the positive changes that the remaining phases of Saathi will bring.
