Saathi is back with some exciting challenges to promote #SustainableLiving & to fight Period Taboos.

The Saathi Sustainability Challenge 2022 would be bigger and bolder than last year with challenges that help us all fight period taboos and conserve our environment!

In July 2021, we ran a similar 16-challenge series alongside the Tokyo Summer Olympics called "Saathi Olympics 2021". We were thrilled with the huge response and love from all of you and our followers on Instagram. 

This year in honor of both Earth Day and Menstrual Hygiene Management Day, we're hosting 5 exciting challenges across 5 weeks and there would be exciting prizes. This time there will be 1 winner and 3 runners up.

Last year a few of you worked really hard but missed the Olympic style medals and prizes. Last time we rewarded every participant with a 10% discount coupon code, but this year we will be rewarding all participants, with valid entries, Saathi Trial Packs! These trial packs would be delivered to you free of cost across India (wherever you are).

So get excited, and gear up for some exciting sustainability challenges that would fight period taboos and promote a Sustainable Lifestyle.

We have also revised our points table so that original content creators would have an upper edge.
