Dhanshristi Conducts Two-Day Menstrual Hygiene Awareness Program in Dhanbad

Dhanbad Dhanshristi Bhavishya Nidhi Trust organized a two-day Menstrual Hygiene Awareness Program in Dhanbad on July 17, 2025, aimed at promoting health awareness and supporting underprivileged communities.

The initiative focused on spreading awareness about menstrual hygiene, safe health practices, and the importance of proper sanitation among women and adolescent girls. The program was conducted as part of the trust’s ongoing social welfare and public health efforts.

Awareness and Health Education

During the sessions, volunteers and health educators explained the importance of menstrual hygiene management and addressed common myths and misconceptions related to menstrual health. Participants were guided on safe sanitary practices, proper usage of hygiene products, and the importance of maintaining cleanliness during menstrual cycles.

Informational discussions were conducted in an interactive format to ensure that participants felt comfortable asking questions and seeking guidance.

Distribution of Essential Supplies

As part of the program, Dhanshristi distributed essential hygiene materials including:

• Sanitary pads

• Bandages

• Medical tapes

  

These supplies were provided to women and girls to promote safer hygiene practices and support those who lack access to basic healthcare materials.

Food Distribution for the Needy

In addition to the awareness campaign, the trust also organized a food distribution drive. Nutritious meals were served to 50 individuals from economically weaker sections of the community.

The initiative aimed to support vulnerable families and reinforce the trust’s commitment to community welfare.

Commitment to Community Health

Representatives of Dhanshristi Bhavishya Nidhi Trust stated that menstrual hygiene remains an overlooked issue in many communities due to social stigma and lack of awareness. Through such programs, the trust seeks to promote dignity, health, and education for women.

The organization reaffirmed its commitment to conducting more health awareness campaigns and welfare initiatives across different regions.

The two-day program concluded with positive participation from local residents, who appreciated the trust’s efforts to address essential health and social needs.
