In April 2024, we sold 3000 large pads to TATA TRUSTS after they tried our samples and loved our reusable large pads! Following this collaboration, TATA TRUSTS joins the sustainable menstruation movement which Sanitree is pioneering. TATA TRUSTS is one of India’s largest enterprises, a philanthropic organisation which strives for a promising and sustainable future. Now, TATA TRUSTS is evolving with its Menstrual Health & Hygiene Management programme which began in 2018. The key objectives of the MHM programme are encouraging equitable gender norms through behavioural change, promoting social entrepreneurship, inculcating safe and hygienic habits and creating awareness for responsible disposal.

After winning the Individual Purpose Competition in the Enactus ITC 2020, Sanitree is now working in tandem with Unilever to ‘make sustainable living commonplace.’ Through this partnership, Sanitree is supported to provide better quality products, inform our consumers about the community we serve and, create a sustainable brand in the lifestyle marketplace.

Sanitree is partnered with the Women’s Environmental Network and shares in their goal to fight ‘global problems around gender, health and our environment by taking action on issues affecting our bodies, homes and neighbourhoods’ and ‘work alongside communities supporting action and get a real-world understanding of women’s lived experiences in the process.’ In line with WEN’s vision, Sanitree champions women through workshop initiatives to upskill their beneficiaries and enable them to earn, educate and empower each other.

Sanitree is supported by Enactus, who are helping us in our transition to becoming an independent social enterprise. Enactus in Edinburgh, run at the University of Edinburgh, brings together students and business leaders to bring about change, transform lives, and instill invaluable entrepreneurial skills by championing projects that create a sustainable world.

Kingswood School is a co-ed school, in Bath, Somerset. Sanitree partnered with Kingswood School to supply 1500 sanitary pads to three schools and one NGO in Malawi. Through this initiative, girls’ attendance in these schools increased, since it alleviated the financial burden of purchasing pads, from parents. In the light of COVID-19, this partnership also helped our beneficiaries in Malawi maintain hygiene and menstrual health, amidst a shortage of essential resources, with our reusable pads.

Sanitree is the official period product supplier of the Vishalakshi Foundation that supports people surviving under the poverty line to live a dignified existence. Working alongside Vishalakshi Foundation, Sanitree has been able to provide pads to underprivileged women in India, and conduct menstrual health awareness sessions in rural Gurugram.

Period Poverty Exeter is a student-run society at the University of Exter, that aims to fight for period equity, and educate and empower individuals about menstruation through their information and awareness campaigns on social media and on university campuses. Sanitree partnered with Period Poverty Exeter back in 2018, to produce a range of t-shirts to raise money for our organisations. This partnership was akin to our vision as a student group, to work alongside other groups embedded in student communities across the UK who share our goals to empower menstruators, and challenge the stigma around menstruation.
