Parivartan \u2013 The Change<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Relief for Migrant Workers and Launch of Project Nirmala & Nidaan<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The year 2020\u201321 was one of the most testing times in India\u2019s recent history.
As the Covid-19 pandemic deepened and lockdowns extended, millions of daily wage workers were forced
to migrate on foot, while communities faced immense distress. Parivartan responded with emergency food
relief, while also advancing long-term sustainable health programs like Project Nirmala and Project Nidaan.
Amidst crisis, our focus remained on dignity, health, and empowerment for the most vulnerable sections of society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Detailed Initiatives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Food Relief for Migrant Workers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In April 2020, when the lockdown extended, thousands of migrants began walking home on highways.
Parivartan teams distributed cooked meals and dry ration kits at highways, bus stops, and railway points.
Our priority was to ensure that no one slept hungry, especially those in transit. Volunteers recalled
heartbreaking moments when exhausted families found comfort in a simple meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite challenges of lockdown, the animal welfare wing continued to rescue, feed, and
care for stray animals. Volunteers risked their own safety to ensure dogs on the streets did not starve.
Awareness campaigns on Instagram (@4dogsakeindia) kept the community engaged and supportive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Nirmala \u2013 CSR by SLCM<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Parivartan partnered with SLCM to launch Project Nirmala, focusing on menstrual hygiene
awareness and the distribution of eco-friendly menstrual cups in rural Haryana. The program aimed to restore
dignity and health while reducing menstrual waste. At HIRD Nilokheri, 71 health officials and volunteers and
24 rural women were sensitized on menstrual health, sparking important community conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Nidaan \u2013 Eco-Friendly Menstrual Management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On International Women\u2019s Day 2021, Project Nidaan was launched with the Delhi Police
(IGI Airport Unit). Women officers and staff received reusable menstrual cups and training on sustainable
menstrual health practices. For many participants, it was their first exposure to eco-friendly alternatives,
and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. The initiative not only improved health outcomes but also
empowered women in uniform to become role models in their communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

of migrants and stray animals, Parivartan also laid the foundation for long-term sustainable programs in
menstrual hygiene. Project Nirmala and Project Nidaan became symbols of dignity and empowerment for women,
while relief work reinforced the importance of empathy in times of distress. The year reminded us that even
