Kimberly-Clark and UNICEF partner to advance menstrual and maternal health in India
Joint initiative aims to improve health, dignity, and well-being of 2.88 million adolescent girls, women and infants
Kimberly-Clark India and UNICEF India have announced a strategic partnership to strengthen menstrual and maternal health services across India, including states such as Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, Odisha and Gujarat.
Aligned with Kimberly-Clark’s vision of delivering Better Care for a Better World, the collaboration seeks to expand access to essential health services while empowering women and girls with improved knowledge on menstrual and maternal health. The initiative will also focus on strengthening community engagement and enhancing health systems.
The joint programme aims to improve the health, dignity and overall well-being of around 2.88 million adolescent girls, women and infants. In addition, about 2.87 million community members will be engaged through education and behaviour-change initiatives focused on menstrual health, maternal care and early childhood well-being.
Through this partnership, Kimberly-Clark and UNICEF will support efforts to strengthen national and state health systems, improve adolescent-friendly health services, and increase awareness that enables girls and mothers to make informed decisions regarding their health and wellbeing. The initiative is expected to contribute towards India’s broader public health and gender equality goals by promoting sustainable and inclusive community impact.
