WHAT IS PLEDGE YOUR PERIOD?

Pledge Your Period is an awareness campaign created by The Desai Foundation to strip away the shame around periods, helping to end the cycle of period stigma and poverty!

Our primary goal is to elevate the health and livelihood of the greater community of rural India, targeting women and children in particular to ensure sustainable growth. We believe everyone should have access to the three things that allow for them to dream beyond your circumstances - good health, the ability to work, and the fulfillment of an education.
