Pinkishe Foundation

Pinkishe Foundation is a registered nonprofit trust established in May 2017 and headquartered in New Delhi. We work to end period poverty and enable girls and women to manage menstruation with dignity, confidence and access to reliable support.

Through PadBank and our school and community programmes, we bring together menstrual health education, access to menstrual products, safe disposal, teacher and peer champion training, and technology-enabled monitoring. Our work serves underserved rural, tribal and urban communities.

We engage girls, women, boys, men, families, teachers and frontline workers to challenge stigma and build lasting support around menstrual health. Our programmes combine practical education with regular product access and locally rooted systems that schools and communities can sustain.

Pinkishe grew from a grassroots movement and is supported by a community of over 800,000 women. Volunteers, programme teams and institutional partners contribute to our work across India.

We hold 12A, 80G, CSR-1 and FCRA registrations and are registered with the NSE Social Stock Exchange. CAF America has validated Pinkishe through September 2027.

We welcome CSR partnerships, institutional grants, employee engagement and individual giving to expand access to menstrual health education and products.
