Today is International Women’s Day! Launching soon - 'Project Shakti'
Saturday, March 8, 2025
March is Rotary’s Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Month!
There’s no better day to announce that Project 'Shakti' is set to launch soon—a life-changing initiative that will empower over 7,000 adolescent girls in the Sundarbans region of India! Led by the Rotary Club of Innsbrook in partnership with the Rotary Club of Calcutta Mahanagar, this Global Grant project will provide menstrual hygiene education, access to sanitary products, and cervical cancer prevention, ensuring that young girls can stay in school, stay healthy, and build a brighter future.
Why this project matters:
On International Women’s Day, we celebrate the power of education, health, and equality in shaping brighter futures for women and girls everywhere. Yet, for many girls, the lack of menstrual hygiene education and resources creates barriers to education and opportunity. Project Shakti is breaking this cycle—one girl at a time.
Rotary in Action:
- Providing menstrual hygiene education & products – Ensuring dignity, breaking stigma.
- Promoting better nutrition – Supporting overall well-being and growth.
- Protecting against cervical cancer – Vaccination programs for long-term health.
With $15,000 in support from Rotary District 7600, and the power of Rotary’s global network, we are making a real difference in the lives of young girls who deserve access to basic health, education, and empowerment.
On this International Women’s Day, we celebrate the power of women and the impact of initiatives like Project Shakti that help create a world where every girl has the opportunity to thrive.
Join us in supporting Project Shakti and help spread the word about this incredible initiative!
