The Munda Village Women's Health Initiative

Compassion Takes Action’s Mark and Tina Sarker have helped launched The Women's Health Awareness Program in the Munda villages of Bangladesh. This initiative addresses the unique and devastating challenges faced by the women and girls in these remote villages, particularly regarding menstrual hygiene management and access to vital health resources. This program helps to bring transformative change, alleviate suffering, and restore hope to this isolated and forgotten community.
