Beneficiary Stories
Name – Bhavana Patel
Location – Valsad, Gujarat
Bhavana Patel, a 45-year-old working as a tailor in Mograwadi, Valsad, comes from a financially weak background. She has been struggling with mensural hygiene, using rags to manage them due to her ignorance of proper hygiene practices. She attended a MHM session by the Desai Foundation in November 2022, and her life changed in terms of MHM hygiene. When she learned about Asani pads, she not only improved her menstrual hygiene, but later in September, she became a successful Sangini, selling Asani monthly to 30–40 women in her locality.
