Impact Story: Dignity in Every Distribution – YSS’s Commitment to Women’s Hygiene
On 3rd September 2020, Yash Sewa Samiti (YSS) marked its Annual Day in a way that truly reflected its values—spreading joy, care, and dignity in the community.
Instead of large gatherings, the celebration reached people right where they were, keeping safety in mind during the pandemic.
During the challenging months of the pandemic, Yash Sewa Samiti (YSS) recognized a crucial truth—health and dignity go hand in hand, especially for women and girls from underprivileged backgrounds.
What started as a small step on our Annual Day, 3rd September 2020—distributing sanitary napkins in Bindapur village alongside joy-filled moments for children—soon grew into a dedicated effort spanning multiple locations and groups.
Step 1 – Annual Day, Bindapur Village
- Children received balloons and biscuits, keeping the spirit of celebration alive even in tough times.
- Women received sanitary napkins, ensuring their menstrual hygiene needs weren’t ignored.
This moment sparked something bigger.
Step 2 – Bindapur Pocket 4 & Tilak Nagar Outreach
Weeks later, YSS carried forward the initiative to:
- Girls at the Cutting & Stitching Centre in Bindapur Pocket 4 – learning skills while being supported with menstrual hygiene products and masks.
- Domestic helps in Tilak Nagar – women who had faced job losses and financial strain received sanitary napkins and masks, bringing both relief and reassurance.
The Impact
- Hundreds of women and girls gained access to essential hygiene supplies at no cost.
- Masks helped them stay safe during the pandemic, while sanitary pads addressed a health need often overlooked in relief efforts.
- These small, consistent acts of care boosted confidence, reduced health risks, and reminded women that their needs matter.
Because real empowerment is not just about grand gestures—it’s about making sure no woman has to compromise her health or dignity, no matter the circumstances.
