The original idea of doing good for others took shape in 2020, leading to the creation of Venerate Welfare Foundation. It all began when two friends united with a shared vision of giving back to humanity, inspired by the philosophy of Altruism. This concept, championed by philosophers like Auguste Comte, emphasizes a selfless concern for the well-being of others. Altruism’s core principle of serving humanity without expecting anything in return became the guiding light for Venerate, driving its founders to create a foundation dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of those in need.
These thoughts were triggered by the events of 2020, a year that brought about a profound shift in perspectives. The challenges and uncertainties of that time led to a renewed sense of community and purpose. People began to realize the importance of supporting one another, and the value of giving back became more prominent. For many, including the founders of Venerate Welfare Foundation, 2020 was a turning point—a time when they saw the opportunity to move beyond personal goals and make a meaningful contribution to society.
In many parts of our country, women and girls are fighting a battle that few ever see: the struggle for safe and affordable menstrual hygiene.
Because of financial limitations, lack of awareness, and age-old taboos, countless women are forced to use unsafe substitutes—cloth scraps, ash, even sand. What should be a simple, natural process becomes a source of pain, risk, and shame.
The impact goes far beyond health. Girls miss school every month, women skip work, and many face isolation in their own homes. Behind every absence is lost opportunity, lost dignity, and lost confidence.
Menstrual health is not a luxury. It is a basic right—a right tied to equality, education, and empowerment.
And yet, every month, nearly half of the world experiences menstruation, but for millions of women and girls in India and beyond, it is still surrounded by silence, stigma, and struggle. What society ignores in whispers ends up becoming a loud and urgent problem for public health, education, and women’s rights.
