The Project Amārā was started in 2016 by five young women: Anjali Dalmia, Surabhee Arjunwadkar, Sayuri Deokar, Aahana Mehta, and Reva Patwardhan. They founded this platform to address the environmental hazards caused by sanitary napkins, alleviate taboos surrounding menstruation, and raise awareness of healthier and more sustainable menstrual products such as menstrual cups, cloth pads, and biodegradable pads. Through sessions in colleges, housing societies, schools, villages, offices, and slum areas, Amārā encourages people to start discussions and provides a support system for womxn, girls and menstruators by creating an intimate and open space. They also conducts mixed-gendered sessions to raise awareness of menstruation among those who do not menstruate. Since 2018, they have reached out to more than 1,000 women, thereby reducing India’s sanitary napkin waste by approximately 14 tonnes (650,000 napkins). Today, The Project Amārā is a growing network of passionate individuals who are contributing to the cause by switching to sustainable products and conducting sessions in their communities. Please contact us if you would like to get involved with us or would like us to hold a session. We currently operate in Pune and Delhi, India, as well as Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
