Project Red Dot helps get often-overlooked essential item to poor women

Vimala and her team of volunteers have distributed 11,800 packs of disposable sanitary pads to women in people’s housing projects since April 21.

SANITARY napkins are part and parcel of womanhood. And when it comes to this delicate matter, hygiene is of utmost importance.

But for the poor like Reka Subranasan, who can barely stretch the household income to put food on the table, the sanitary napkins seen as a basic necessity to most women, take a back seat.
