“Shakti means power and Her Shakti means power for all women. That's what it’s like here; empowering. I have met some great people here; Most important of all is I'm working for an organisation that works for women and their wellbeing.”
“One thing I can tell about Her Shakti is it's a form of happiness for the women who are involved with it. They come here and share everything among each other. They find their happiness here in their work and go back home with a feeling of joy.”

“Sanitree is very close to my heart, providing a holistic approach to many problems of menstruators across the globe”
Prior to her work with Sanitree, Ishu was a menstrual health educator who had been working under an NGO distributing single-use pads to provide support to as many menstruators as possible. However, she quickly realised that providing menstruators with period dignity for one cycle was not creating long-term change in their lives, whilst contributing to the plastic crisis in her city. So, Sanitree relaunched in Jaipur, where we developed our product, recruited local beneficiaries, and established a new community hub: the Her Shakti Centre.
