Focus on women’s wellness

Rotary Club of Hubli Vidyanagar, RID 3170, donated handcarts with storage boxes to underprivileged women. They can use these mobile carts to sell vegetables, fruits, wares or food items and earn a living, said club president Dr Mahima Dand.

In another inititative, the club organised a menstrual hygiene management programme for the students of the IBMR College in Hubli, as part of the club’s RED project. Menstrual cups were distributed to 100 students and lecturers. An awareness lecture was presented to educate the girls about the safety and hygiene of using menstrual cups and reusable sanitary napkins instead of disposable ones.
