Nav Astitav Foundation is a non-profit organization working in Patna, Bihar since 5 years. It is focusing on alleviating poverty and women and girl child cleanliness. Foundation was establishes by two cooperative lady Amrita Singh and Pallavi Sinha in March 2012.
NAF is working especially in the field of women's and adolescent's menstrual health and hygiene in Bihar. This is a Bihar-based organization working in all 38 districts of Bihar.
Nav Astitva Foundation was started with a clear vision and mission to provide better education, health, empowerment, and nutritious food for underprivileged people, especially women and girls
In 2012, 2 Ladies, stepped into the world of social service and started awaring the slum dwellers with a basic literacy programme, simple calculations of money and wages per day, Health & Hygiene awareness related to their urinals, bathing habits, cleaning surrounding to be safe & protected
Organized Regular Health Clinics weekly for women and children to keep them healthy. Spreading quality time with these slum women brought us closer to a few true hidden facts and that was the plight of slum women during periods. A pandora box generating innumerable diseases. A bad foul stink could be noticed from them thatwas due to not taking bath during periods, reusing dirty clothes during menstruation and so many wrong practices. We came across bigger challenges when we tried to talk to the women about theirmenstrual life. The elder women started scolding us, misbehaved even alligated us for misguiding their daughter.
The journey of challenges began, when we stepped out of our home and entered theirs. 2012 completely differed from as no PADMAN was there to broaden the mindset of people. The 2 Ladies with the aim of "Swachh Betiyan Swachh Samaj" went on alone with firm determination despite all mockeries, fun, scoldings & challenges. Organized Health Checkups, by Gynocologist for the needy & unprivileged women weekly. Provided them free medical treatment along with recommended medicines.
This is the most ignored topic because no one wants to talk about this. But it is important to create awareness among women and girls so that they can get right information
It is trying to provide sanitary pads at minimum cost by opening sanitary banks. It also promotes to open vending machines
We connect women with doctors by fixing an appointment with them. This helps them to discuss their health issues.
We promote AYUSH i.e. advocacy of homeopathy. AYUSH helps provide a complete cure of disease which is very effective in menstrual-related problems.
