The organization was started in Vijayawada. Its initial campaigns distributed food packets to marginalized people[4] and COVID safety supplies to drivers.[5] In 2021 it conducted a campaign to spread awareness about menstrual hygiene and distribute menstrual supplies.[2]
Initially, the members bought sanitary pads made by popular brands in bulk to distribute to girls and women with limited access. Recognizing that store-bought sanitary pads are non-biodegradable and harmful due to that, they came up with the idea of producing sanitary pads made of 100 percent biodegradable materials. The NGO started producing a three-layered sanitary pad made up of biodegradable materials such as bamboo, banana fiber, and corn starch plastic.[2][3][5]
