Project Harit Dhara
A step towards sustainable menstrual hygiene and community empowerment. Launched on August 21, 2023, by Ms. Priya Agarwal and Mr. Akarsh Hebbar, Project Harit Dhara is a revolutionary initiative in Barmer aimed at providing eco-friendly, sustainable menstrual hygiene solutions while breaking societal stigma around menstruation. This first-of-its-kind community-driven project fosters awareness and acceptance, ensuring healthier menstrual practices.
In just six months, the initiative has actively engaged over 2,000 women and adolescent girls through community meetings, and more than 5,000 women have benefited from menstrual well-being sessions. A two-day training workshop on cloth pad making was organized for rural women, leading to the establishment of a small-scale enterprise with 30 women generating sustainable income since September 2023.
