CII-YI's "Jagriti" initiative for Rural Women Healthcare


As a part of Jagriti - an initiative by CII-Yi (XLRI) during  “Jamshedpur JoyFest: Joy of Giving Week 2012” - 20 girl students of XLRI interacted with around 120 adolescent girls and women from a number of SHGs belonging to the area of Musabani Tehsil (East Singhbhumi) as their first visit. The shared/educated them about female specific health and hygiene related issues. Alert to the fact that women in under-resourced communities do not have access to modern amenities owing to their financial inadequacy, they distributed free of cost sanitary napkins, in order to place it as a healthy substitute to the usual unhygienic means, which can cause certain health problems.

These are some photos of their first visit on Oct 2nd
