Jaagruti- The Pad Lari

The brief of the project was to design a mobile intervention that sold sanitary pads in New Faisalnagar, an informal settlement in Ahmedabad. Jaagruti, the pad-selling cycle lari also acts as a safe space for the gathering and interaction of women and children of the community. It acts as a platform for healthy discussions about the importance of using sanitary napkins, and its impact on health. The Lari is a step in the right direction to promote the independence of the women in New Faisalnagar.
