Project Inaayat
Project Inaayat is India’s first chapter under Days for Girls international chapters that aims to improve the menstrual hygiene of rural women by providing them with our kits which comprise of two shields (which act as sanitary napkins), eight absorbent liners, one menstrual chart, a pictorial guidance chart and 2 soaps.
Besides selling these kits, Menstrual Hygiene Management sessions are conducted and for the same, collaborations with various reputed organisations and schools. The association with Rotaract Club of Bombay Hanging Gardens has resulted in successfully conducting MHM Sessions for over 500 underprivileged women in remote villages along with distribution of the kits.
Since inception, 3024 kits have been sold, with a total of 30,000 people being impacted under Project Inaayat.
Project Aajeevika
Aajeevika, in Hindi, refers to ‘livelihood’. Through Project Aajeevika, employment is provided to the rural women of Maharashtra, thus increasing their family income and henceforth, enhancing their standard of living.
Rural women are empowered to capitalise on their stitching skills. The women possessing stitching skills are identified from rural communities. The women employed are then vocationally trained in being seamstresses. This gives them a skill with which they can earn a livelihood and become independent.
Unlike any other competitors, the bags are customisable with zips, chains and other accessories along with an array of designs at the choice of our consumer. Till date, 2,000 bags have been sold under Project Aajeevika.
Introduction: Enactus HRC's Project Samudra Manthan aims to tackle the issue of ghost nets in Mumbai's Koli communities. These abandoned fishing nets harm marine life and the environment. Our project focuses on collecting and repurposing these nets into marketable products, creating sustainable income for the Koli communities.
Research Activities: From June 21 to July 11, 2024, we conducted offline research across various Mumbai markets, including Mangaldas Market, Swadeshi Market, and Crawford Market, for materials like cloth linings and chemicals. We also visited fishing communities such as Worli Koliwada and Sassoon Dock to procure nets.
Key Locations:
June 21-25, 2024: Procurement of cloth linings, chemicals, and fishing nets.
July 4-11, 2024: Further procurement from fishing villages and markets.
Next Steps: We are now developing product prototypes and planning a market launch, aiming to support the Koli community with sustainable income opportunities.
