Objective and future plan of Project Kishori (Prazna Foundation)
Prajna Foundation spokesperson Vishishta Singh said that the aim of this campaign is to spread awareness about hygiene among adolescent girls as well as to inspire them to become self-reliant during menstruation. She said that this program will continue on behalf of Brahmos Aerospace and Prajna Foundation and it will be expanded to other areas as well.
‘Project Kishori’ has so far reached hundreds of girl students in various schools of Jaipur, and this campaign will continue on a larger scale in the future. Through this initiative, adolescent girls are not only being provided with the necessary means to stay physically healthy, but they are also being inspired to break the myths related to hygiene and menstruation in the society.
In this way, ‘Project Kishori’ is playing an important role in bringing positive change in the lives of adolescent girls, and even more effective results will be seen in the times to come.
