In a collaborative drive to ensure road safety, Tapas Foundation along with Confederation of Indian
Industry(CII), Young Indians & Yi Bhopal conducted a Road Safety Awareness Campaign in Bhopal,
Madhya Pradesh. We inaugurated the campaign by taking over the road through a Bike Rally where 40
riders came along in their gear and glory to spread the message of road safety. We collaborated with
Bhopal Riders Community for the rally.

With the support of IEHE NSS Bhopal, we performed 10 street plays on road safety in Bhopal city and
Adampur Chhawani. Street play has always been a great medium for us to connect with the public. As a
part of the campaign, we created awareness about sensible honking in and near 15 hospital premises in
Bhopal. We also hosted an awareness session for ISBT bus and highway truck drivers on various safety
measures that they should always follow.

Team Tapas also engaged with children during the campaign but on a more colourful note – through
drawing and quiz competitions. We covered 15 schools in the city and screened a short film – Chota Cop
for the students which is based on road safety. With Foster For Furrballs, an organisation working for
animal welfare, we ensured the safety of stray cattle who are often the victims of road accidents,
especially during the night. We did a radium strip drive to cover their horns with neon reflective bands
which will make them visible during the night and protect them from any unforeseen accidents.
It was a very fulfilling and effective campaign where we came together to ensure road safety. We want
to thank our collaborative partners – We Care, Young Indians Bhopal, Bhopal Riders Community, IEHE
NSS Bhopal, Foster For Furrballs and Mayank Kapoor for their generous contribution that made this
campaign a great success.

Menstrual Hygiene Awareness Campaign with Unicharm

Every month, 1.8 billion people across the world menstruate. Millions of these girls, women, transgender men and non-binary persons are unable to manage their menstrual cycle in a dignified, healthy way.

Gender inequality, discriminatory social norms, cultural taboos, poverty and lack of basic services like toilets and sanitary products can all cause menstrual health and hygiene needs to go unmet.

Menstrual Hygiene is vital to the empowerment and well-being of women and girls worldwide.

Tapas Foundation partnered with Unicharm for a CSR project that aimed to normalise the talk that revolves around periods and the the taboos attached to it. With the support of India is Us, Tapas distributed 1500 Unicharm sanitary pads to the women in the areas of Delhi and Ghaziabad.

On Sunday, 7th November 2021, TAPAS    distributed 500 UNICHARM sanitary pads to the women in the areas of Ghaziabad and educated, surveyed as well as interviewed them about the importance of using different menstrual tools like sanitary pads, tampons and menstrual cups as well. The drive was a successful initiative that changed the perspective and the negative outlook of a lot of people of our country.

The second phase of the campaign took place on 12th November’2021 wherein Tapas foundation with the support of India is us and unicharm organised a sanitary pad distribution drive in the areas of Cannaught Place, Delhi.

Over 1000 sanitary pads were distributed to the women living in areas of CP and they were made aware about the benefits of maintaining their menstrual hygiene and about the importance of different sanitary tools.

The third phase of our campaign took place on 16th November’2021 where Tapas foundation organised a sanitary pad distribution drive in the areas of Jhandewalan basti, delhi. We distributed over 500 sanitary pads and educated the people of the basti about the benefits of maintaining their menstrual hygiene and about the importance of different sanitary tools.

Tapas believes in breaking the stigmas attached to menstruation and it’s allied issues and has been working diligently to achieve its aim.
