A campaign by Joint Women's Programme
So girls do not drop out of school
No girl should leave school because she got her period. We give her pads, workshops and counselling, so she stays in class and keeps chasing her dreams.

From a Wings of Hope driveAbout This Cause
When Periods Become Barriers
Every month, girls across India miss school when their periods begin. A few missed days turn into weeks, and too many never return. Together, we can change that.
Access
Pads Are Out of Reach
For many families, pads cost more than they can spare each month, so girls stay home instead.
Awareness
No One Explains It
Many girls get their first period before anyone talks to them about it, and myths fill the gap.
Facilities
No Safe Place to Change
Without clean, private toilets at school, staying home feels like the only option.
Stigma
Silence at Home
When parents and teachers don't talk about periods, girls learn to stay quiet and stay away.
Our Theory of Change
Remove the Barriers.Keep Her in Class.
Pads, knowledge and a supportive community work best together. Each step builds on the one before.
When We Give Her
Free Reusable Pads
Cost is no longer the reason she stays home.
And Help Her Understand
Her Body and Her Health
In a safe space to ask what she can't ask at home.
And Bring Together
Parents, Teachers and Community
So the people around her support her, not silence her.
Then She
Stays in Class and Keeps Chasing Her Dreams
With confidence and dignity, every month.
How we know it's working: girls still using their pads months later, and still in class through their periods.
How This Cause Works
Educate. Equip. Empower.
Three programmes that work together in every community Wings of Hope reaches.
Pad Drives
Free reusable, biodegradable pads, shared through schools, local NGOs and government partners, with a demo on use and care.
Awareness Workshops
Friendly, age-appropriate sessions on menstrual health and hygiene, in schools and communities.
Community & Counselling
Health camps and parent sessions that replace myths with facts, plus one-to-one counselling for girls.

Vetted by The Giving Circle
For almost five decades, JWP has worked with women and girls who were told their lives were already decided. Wings of Hope exists to prove otherwise. We don't stop at the school gate. We stay with each girl through her education, her skills and her first steps into work, until independence is hers. To everyone who joins us: You are giving a girl her wings.

Questions About This Cause
Frequently Asked Questions
Clarity on where your gift goes, how the programme works, and how your circle can champion it.
What does "vetted by The Giving Circle" mean?
Our own team checked JWP's registration and tax documents, visited its office, and interviewed the people who run it. We see the work on the ground wherever we can, and JWP has committed in writing to share updates. Vetting is not a financial audit; we do not examine the NGO's accounts.
Will I get an 80G receipt?
Yes. Your gift goes directly to Joint Women's Programme through its own payment gateway. JWP issues your 80G receipt for eligible donations.
Where does my donation go?
Donations go directly to the partner NGO through the NGO's own payment gateway and into the NGO's own bank account. The Giving Circle does not receive, hold, or process donation funds at any stage.
Why reusable pads?
Reusable pads last for years, cost families less over time, and cut waste. Each kit comes with a simple demo on use and care so girls can manage periods with dignity and stay in class.
Where does Wings of Hope work?
The programme runs through schools, local partners and community sessions, with a strong focus across Delhi NCR and partner regions where JWP already works with girls and families.
Can I raise funds for Wings of Hope with my circle?
Yes. As a Cause Champion you can pool gifts with friends, family or colleagues and fund this live cause together. Every contribution still goes directly to JWP.
