Girls in Andhra Predesh School in Delhi receive MoonCatcher Kits
in fall 2018…
The MoonCatcher Project partnered with the Shashi Kiran Charitable Trust of Delhi, India to launch a sewing center in New Delhi, where 5 employees produced up to 2,000 kits per month. providing a free, eco-friendly solution to menstrual management. The Shashi Kiran Trust has trained over 100 government teachers to deliver our curriculum. They have delivered kits to school girls in Manipur State, Nepal and West Bengal as well as in the region of New Delhi.
Sadly, the building which housed our sewing center was sold recently and the center had to be closed. Stored kits continue to be delivered to girls in remote parts of the country, but our work in India is now on hold.
We hope to resume work in India in the near future. We are forever grateful to the Shashi Kiran Charitable Trust for joining us in our efforts to erase period poverty around the world.
