I come from the same soil where young girls are taught to hide their pain, where periods are whispered about behind closed doors, and where vulnerability is seen as weakness. I have seen the shame in their eyes, the silence in their stories — and I knew something had to change.
PRARIK means "to shape", and that’s exactly what we aim to do — shape a new society. One where *no one is left unserved*, no dream is left unsupported, and no child grows up believing their natural identity is something to hide.
From our *First Period Party* campaign that celebrates womanhood with pride, to our community empowerment programs, we work every single day to turn pain into power, stigma into strength, and awareness into action.
This isn’t charity. This is solidarity. This is not just about pads — it’s about power. And this is not my story alone — it is *our collective fight* to build a world where everyone, regardless of gender, caste, geography or background, is treated with dignity, love, and opportunity.
We are not here to serve. We are here to stand with. We are not here to "help the poor." We are here to *rewrite the system* that creates poverty, exclusion, and silence.
Thank you for walking this path with us. We’re just getting started.
