Anahat is currently running “Project Unnati” in Diamond Harbour, South 24 Paraganas, Nadia district and Terai region Tea gardens, Darjeeling, supported by SVP India Kolkata. The project aims to impact the lives of more than 100 underprivileged women, who are being taught to make reusable cloth pads and other feminine hygiene products in order to bridge the gap in the supply chain of subsidized sanitary products provided by the Government in target areas. Project Unnati not just improves the socioeconomic conditions of the beneficiaries but also provides them with the opportunity to spread knowledge in the community regarding sustainable menstruation and its advantages. Lead Partners Ms. Richa Dalmia, Ms. Smita Agarwal and Ms. Tanuja Bhandari constantly generate ideas and provide guidance.
Partnership with SVP has been Anahat’s first long-term partnership for a social impact project. SVP’s engagement with Anahat goes beyond Project Unnati. The NGO has received support for other projects as well. SVP helped in connecting them with individual donors and companies interested in construction of WASH infrastructure in schools. SVP’s Youth For Philanthropy Programme connects students to various NGOs in need of interns. For Anahat, SVP’s Youth Mentor Ms. Mahima Varma led the charge as her team worked on conducting surveys, doing research and designing social media creatives. SVP’s HR Cell has also helped Anahat streamline various policies like POSH, Child Protection Policy, Procurement Policy etc.
