Our Programs

PRAKRITI: Reproductive health management

Statistics reveal that in India, about 1 in 5 – a significant number of girls drop out of school due to the lack of menstrual awareness and proper hygiene facilities. This not only affects their education but also their long-term health and well-being. Muniya Foundation, drawing upon the wisdom of ages that proclaims ‘Knowledge is Power,’ strives to enlighten young Muniyas about the importance of menstrual hygiene, ensuring that the natural cycle of life does not hinder their path to education and success.
Our program is not just an initiative; it's a commitment to holistic well-being and positive social transformation. We believe that by focusing on the health and well-being of these young women, we are investing in the future of our communities. By addressing menstrual hygiene issues, we aim to enhance enrolment, retention, transition, and performance of girls at the primary, secondary, and college levels of education. Through our concerted efforts, we aim to raise awareness about reproductive health management, shattering taboos and equipping girls with the knowledge they need to manage their menstrual health and stride with confidence.
To achieve this, we work closely with a team of doctors and counsellors to provide comprehensive education and one-to-one counselling on menstrual health and hygiene to these young women. By distributing sanitary pads and multivitamin tablets, and installing pad vending machines and incinerators for proper disposal of pads, we are taking concrete steps towards empowering girls to lead healthy and focused lives with dignity and self-care. Our programme is more than just a distribution channel for sanitary pads and multivitamins. With every pad we provide, we are rewriting a story – one where every girl has the right to education, the freedom to thrive, and the power to chase her dreams, unfettered by the natural cycles that define womanhood.
This is our commitment: to sow seeds of awareness, to nurture well-being, and to witness these young women blossom into leaders of tomorrow, leading healthy and happy lives.

SAHAJA: Comforting through yoga

Yoga, an ancient practice, has been cherished for generations by yogis and yoginis, providing a holistic approach to well-being that extends beyond physical exercise. As a significant part of India’s rich heritage, yoga is a source of empowerment and vitality. Our Yoga for Menstrual Health program takes a comprehensive approach to menstrual wellness, addressing both physical discomfort and emotional fluctuations associated with menstrual cycles.
Gentle yoga poses help alleviate cramps, reduce bloating, and enhance emotional stability, making the menstrual period less challenging. Additionally, yoga's focus on mindfulness and body awareness empowers young women with a deeper understanding and respect for their bodies, fostering a positive self-image and confidence that extends beyond the yoga mat.
The benefits of yoga for girls are extensive—boosting emotional intelligence, self-esteem, and resilience. By incorporating yoga into their routines, girls learn to manage the complexities of adolescence with grace and strength, establishing a foundation for lifelong health and well-being.
Our program has seen incredible transformations as girls adopt yoga, becoming more confident, centered, and ready to achieve their full potential. Embrace the holistic benefits of our Yoga for Menstrual Health program and transform your menstrual health journey today.

SAMBHAVNAA: Counselling and personal guidance

Life is a journey that doesn't come with a map," and sometimes the path can feel overwhelmingly uncertain, especially for those in underserved and underprivileged communities. Young girls often find themselves at a crossroads, where life's unexpected turns can leave them feeling lost, without a clear direction. In the absence of a guide in their neighborhood to steer them towards a path of hope, they can feel entrapped in hopelessness and insecurity, unsure of their future and questioning their self-worth. This is where the guiding light of our counseling and personal guidance shines the brightest. Our programs are designed to be that beacon of hope, providing not just counseling but a helping hand that leads to empowerment. What we do: Study Guidance We understand that planning an academic trajectory can be daunting. Our study guidance program helps girls explore different streams and options for higher studies, selecting the right programs and institutions that align their academic goals with their personal aspirations. Mental Health Counseling Mental well-being is crucial for personal development. Our mental health counseling services provide a safe space for girls to express their feelings, cope with stress, and develop resilience. Our counselors are trained to address various mental health issues, ensuring each girl receives the support she needs. Career Counseling Our career counseling program is designed to foster growth by helping girls develop skills and prepare for the professional world. We assist in career profiling, matching interests with potential career paths, and connecting them with industry professionals through events like job fairs. Mentorship We believe every girl has the potential to learn and grow. Our mentorship program connects girls with role models from various fields who have overcome adversity and achieved success. Through regular sessions, they can seek advice, gain insights, and learn from the experiences of those who have navigated similar paths.

PARIJAAT – One with nature

PARIJAAT is an environmental initiative that seeks to cultivate a deep connection between our Muniyas and the environment. Just like the Parijat tree, our young Muniyas possess a remarkable inner strength and the potential to blossom into something truly remarkable.
Through PARIJAAT, we embark on a journey where Muniyas become active participants in environmental stewardship. A core aspect of the program revolves around planting trees, specifically focusing on native species well-suited to the local environment like the NEEM tree. Each Muniya actively participates in planting and caring for a tree, nurturing these saplings and witnessing firsthand the impact they can have on their surroundings. This act of planting and nurturing a tree from a sapling to maturity serves as a powerful metaphor for their own personal growth and resilience. As they nurture these saplings, they cultivate a sense of responsibility and witness firsthand the impact they can have on their surroundings.
PARIJAAT goes beyond planting. It is a call to action, a seed planted in the hearts and minds of our Muniyas. Muniyas discover how trees contribute to cleaner air, healthier soil, and a more vibrant habitat for countless species. The program fosters a sense of wonder and appreciation for the intricate web of life that sustains us all. As they learn, grow, and become one with nature, they transform into strong, resilient individuals, ready to face the challenges of the future. Imagine rows of thriving trees standing testament to their collective spirit, a legacy that will provide shade, nourishment, and a healthier planet for generations to come.
