About Us
Empowerment
Swasthina is dedicated to creating powerful resources for menstrual health. Our efforts have significantly improved school attendance, which is a critical factor in the economic empowerment of young girls. We have adopted a multifaceted approach that includes education, access to hygiene products, reducing taboos, and collaborating with important stakeholders.
Sustainability
To bring sustainability to sanitary waste disposal, we have embarked on a journey to install incinerators that don’t leave any waste behind. The net zero carbon emission step creates ash that can be utilised in farm fertilisers. This environment-friendly product cycle has made a lasting impact on the community.
Creating change, one girl at a time!
people in the service
Swasthina was started with a vision to empower women with knowledge and access to sanitary products. Lack of hygiene and appropriate care makes girls vulnerable to infections and diseases. This issue is highly stigmatised and ignored by the masses. We are determined to create easy access to menstrual products and disposal facilities for underprivileged girls. This shall propel a dignified change in the way women manage menstrual health
Swasthina was pioneered in December 2022 by a visionary girl, Miss Shobhini Khanna. She is a purpose-driven individual who has become a leader in creating sustainable solutions for eliminating biohazardous waste.
A student of Delhi Public School, RK Puram, she is a visionary. She is highly motivated to make an impact. Her determination and strong resolve have changed the lives of many girls. She is on a mission to educate, and empower underprivileged girls about menstrual health and hygiene.
At Swasthina, we are committed to reducing unawareness about period hygiene. We are driven to curb the carbon footprint that results from improper disposal of sanitary products. These practices pollute the environment.
As a move towards sustainability, we have adopted a 360-degree approach to achieve net zero carbon emissions. We have installed incinerators in government schools across the country. They turn the disposed pads into ash, which can be used to make fertilisers and bricks. Multiple stakeholders have appreciated this no-waste initiative.
Menstrual sustainability through technology and innovation
On a quest to educate and empower young girls.
12.3 billion sanitary napkins are produced annually, by 121 million women, which creates 113,000 tons of garbage. Education about menstruation and feminine hygiene practices will create sustainability in waste disposal. With a resilient spirit, we are extending our reach to different areas of the country. We have worked with schools and SOS villages in Delhi, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. We are coming to Gujarat and Varanasi next. We aspire to make pad disposal an environment-friendly process. We aim to install incinerator units in every corner of the country so sanitary napkins can be disposed of safely.
