Along with the product we can also provide menstrual health and hygiene awareness programs.

Our mission is to improve menstrual health and hygiene, with the absolute aim of increasing the participation of women in social and economic activities. 

Women in most parts of the world play a submissive role due to the biological phenomena of menstruation. Managing menstruation is one of the greatest challenges that most women face due to a lack of awareness and high prices. Women in rural areas use home clothes, and grass/hay to manage menstruation. Plastic pads distributed by NGOs don't last for more than one menstrual cycle which puts women in the same situation. To avoid shame from leaks, they often stay at home. This results in increased absenteeism and finally dropping out of schools. ReliefPads enable menstruating girls to attend school, participate in social and economic activities and ultimately achieving the goal of gender equality.

ReliefPads contributes to waste reduction. 1 ReliefPad can be used for about 18 months. Using disposable pads generates a lot of waste, land and water pollution. On an average, 1 woman disposes around 150 kg of non-biodegradable waste from using plastic pads in her lifetime. According to Menstrual Health Alliance India, 1 plastic pad takes around 500 years to decompose.

Our product is useful for sanitation and women empowerment projects carried out by NGOs and corporates as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility. We have partnered with organisations such as UNICEF, UNHCR, ICRC, Oxfam and Red Cross and supplied them with ReliefPads for their various projects. According to a study, 1 in 10 girls are unable to afford menstrual hygiene products and adopt unhygienic alternatives. As a result, they often develop chronic infections or medical conditions. ReliefPads are safe, econimcal and long-lasting.

ReliefPads can be washed and resued for up to 18 months hence NGOs and organisations do not have to distribute sanitary pads in one region every month and subequently can cater to a greater pool of women. We maintain good quality and ensure timely delivery. Our reusable sanitray pads are EU REACH tested, ISO certified, and SGS certified.
