OUR TEAM

"Paddling is like a second home to me. However cliche it might sound, I always wanted to make a difference and there was no better road to take than this. Paddling helped me grow as a person and filled me with creativity and positivity. "

"Being an IT engineering graduate, I always wanted to utilize that technical knowledge for a societal cause. Paddling as an organization gives me that perfect oppurtunity to make a difference and apply my skills for the greater good of the society."

"I never understood why I had to hide my pad while going to the washroom or why I couldn't go to the temple when on my periods. Today, I'm here to stand up for the 11 year old me & million other menstruators who don't deserve to be treated this way! Don't worry little one, we've got your back"

"Half of the population menstruates and yet everybody whispers about it.
Paddling Foundation being a youth driven organization is all set to put the taboos to rest and to work towards ending period poverty. Through them I have had the most humbling experiences that makes me more passionate about the cause where I can learn and unlearn each day."

"Having grown up with period taboos around me, I felt it deeply with my heart when a menstruator was treated as an untouchable. To recognize our privilege to access is a blessing and to provide everyone with the same amenities i grew up with is what I truly believe in. Let's build a taboo-free world, a world well-educated on menstrual health one day at a time. Period!"

"From joining Paddling as a shy 20 year old to becoming a confident 23 year old, my journey so far truly has been amazing! It's truly been an amazing experience. Paddling has provided me with a safe space to experiment, make mistakes, and learn valuable lessons. I hold a deep appreciation for Paddling, as it has played a significant role in my personal growth. It holds a special place in my heart."

"Menstrual stigma is inflicted on one-half of our population even in modern times. The thought that in rural areas menstruating individuals are still weighed down by unfounded taboos intimidates me as a young woman. With Paddling, I strive to spread awareness and debunk the myths about menstruation."

"Being a student of psychology I've always been very interested in knowing about people and understanding them. Paddling gave me a reason to understand more of this in depth as to how one single aim can connect people globally. I aspire to connect with more people and help the paddling foundation grow in various aspects."
