Since our inception, we have distributed over 7,500 pads, reaching more than 9,000 individuals while raising awareness and driving conversations around menstruation. With education and community engagement at the heart of our efforts, PadSeva not only provides essential resources but also promotes understanding and advocacy for gender equality. Join us in our journey to create a world where menstrual health is a right, not a privilege.
Our mission is grounded in the belief that menstrual hygiene is not merely a health issue but a matter of dignity and equality. We are committed to promoting education, accessibility and starting a conversation in this critical area, thereby uplifting underserved populations and fostering a more equitable society.
Anwitha Srivatsa
Founder of PadSeva
Anwitha is currently a DP2 student studying at Chirec International School. With her Higher Levels in Global Politics, English, and Economics, she aspires to pursue a career in journalism and law. She founded PadSeva in 2023 to address inequality and ensure equitable access to essential resources for all. Passionate about breaking down societal stigma surrounding menstruation, she's using social media, fundraising, podcasts, and newsletters to initiate conversations and bring about change.
When she's not working on PadSeva, you'll find her practicing Bharatanatyam, yelling in Indian committees at MUNs, or watching Tangled for the 100th time with her younger sister. She hopes PadSeva will serve as a meaningful step toward fostering conversation and alleviating menstrual health disparities.
Abhigna
Secretary of PadSeva
Abhigna is currently a DP2 student at CHIREC International School, pursuing Higher Levels in Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches, Physics, and Economics. Aspiring to study Economics, she is interested in understanding how financial systems, public policy, and social inequalities shape people's lives. As Secretary of PadSeva, she works towards advancing menstrual health awareness, improving access to essential menstrual hygiene resources, and breaking the stigma surrounding menstruation. Through her experience in advocacy, fundraising, community outreach, and student-led initiatives, she hopes to contribute to meaningful, lasting change and make conversations around menstrual health more accessible.
When she's not working on PadSeva, you'll probably find her exploring the philosophy behind economics, brainstorming her next big project, reading the classics, or going down a rabbit hole of ideas that started with one innocent question. She hopes to use her interests in economics and social impact to help build a more equitable society, one conversation and community at a time.
