Awareness camps on use of Napkin among Rural women. 

Many rural women do not have enough resources to buy sanitary napkins and they use the dirtiest cloth in the house. In order to hide the said used cloth from others they hide the said cloth in the holes of trees or in the hide of the walls and re use again and again. This cloth is reused many times without proper washing/ sterilizing.  The cloth is washing in the dirty pond water. Even two or three women in a household use the same piece of cloth.

AJK Trust is working towards making the children self reliant through education and vocational training. It conducts counseling program for the disturbed families, and so far more than 100 families have been brought back to the main stream. 

For girls and women living in poverty, education is not only the key to a brighter future it is also a key to survival.

The Annai Joy Kiruba Trust will seed new initiatives and support the expansion of proven programs including: Integrated Health and Literacy: Girls and women learn about family health, the dangers of early marriage, and how to protect themselves from exploitation. As women learn practical skills, they increase their confidence and strengthen their support for each other, allowing them to more fully participate in decisions that affect their health and the well-being of their families and communities.
