We have just sold 3000 large pads to TATA TRUSTS, they tried our samples and loved our reusable large pads!

Following this collaboration, TATA TRUSTS joins the sustainable menstruation movement which Sanitree is pioneering. TATA TRUSTS is one of India’s largest enterprises, a philanthropic organisation which strives for a promising and sustainable future. 

Now, TATA TRUSTS is evolving with its Menstrual Health & Hygiene Management programme which began in 2018. The key objectives of the MHM programme are encouraging equitable gender norms through behavioural change, promoting social entrepreneurship, inculcating safe and hygienic habits and creating awareness for responsible disposal. 

Like Sanitree, they are focussed on dignity, wellbeing and empowerment for menstruators in India, especially in rural areas. Here’s to Sanitree on one of our biggest sales yet!
