The Ministry of the People, Social Development and Family Services has stepped up its support for menstrual health access among vulnerable women and girls, handing over a one-off grant of $36,400 to the non-profit A Touch of Joy Foundation.
The funding will back the Foundation’s Fight for Her Dignity initiative, a twelve-month programme aimed at improving access to menstrual hygiene resources and health education in underserved communities.
Minister of the People, Social Development and Family Services, the Honourable Vandana Mohit, presented the grant to Ms. Mala Jadoonanan, Vice President of A Touch of Joy Foundation, during a handover ceremony on Saturday, September 19, at the Foundation’s base in Chase Village, Carapichaima.
