Her period. Her health. Her dignity. 🌸 Sewa International initiated a Menstrual Health Awareness Session and Hygiene Kit Distribution organised by SewaKalaSrushti in Baladia Village, Gujarat, for female migrant labourers from North Gujarat. The session covered the menstrual cycle, personal hygiene, and why clean, safe menstrual products matter. Women were encouraged to speak openly about menstrual health, so we could clear up common misconceptions and build a more supportive environment. As part of the initiative, all 32 participants received a menstrual hygiene kit, giving them access to safe and essential hygiene products. This was a step towards making sure every woman feels informed, supported, and confident in managing her menstrual health with dignity. 🩷 #SewaInternational #MenstrualHealth #MenstrualHygiene #SewaKalaSrushti

Curiosity has officially landed in Keralam, Agali! Day 1 of the Anubhuthi STEM Camp opened with the invocation ceremony, with 64 young minds from 4 schools, folded hands and big dreams. For the next two days, they won’t just learn science. They’ll build it, test it, break it, and discover it for themselves. Because when children experience learning, they start to believe in themselves. #Anubhuthi #AnubhuthiCamp2026 #SewaInternational #STEMCamp #Keralam

Introducing our new series: Fellow Footprint | Every Friday! We’re excited to launch Fellow Footprint, a weekly series sharing stories from our Fellows working with communities on the ground. Meet Shivani Karesiya, our Fellow (Batch-4), Host Organization - Swami Vivekananda Youth Movement, Mysore She started out in health research and community health. Now she works on livelihoods, helping tribal women’s income-generation units sell their products to more customers and grow their incomes. What has stayed with her most is meeting women like Kavya, an SHG member who works in the unit and also drives an auto, and Sarasho, whose earnings from the unit help support her family “Livelihood is not just about income - it gives women a sense of dignity, purpose, and independence.” Through her work, the women aren’t just beneficiaries.
