Who we are
Orikalankini is an organization that is changing narratives around menstruation and sexuality in India through art, theater, and dialogue since 2013. Since then we have been holding art based Workshops around menstruation and sexuality in government schools and prisons across India. we have been able to reach more than 46000 plus adolescents in this effort mostly in conflict areas. We also train staff of other organizations in our methodology through the 3-day train the trainer initiative and have certified more than 2000 Menstrual educators in the intersectional framework of menstruation. We also help set up washable cloth pad making units in the community across the countries and have 15 units trained by us. We have set up 16 reading rooms already and are partnering with Eklavya Foundation and Niramay Bharat Organisation for the next 25 reading rooms.
Our work and its impact
This is the impact created by our partnering organizations on the field level. At this moment Eklavya is engaging with 21 villages in Khed Taluka, Pune for strengthening the network of community-led activity centers (Moholla Learning Activity Centers-MLAC) for primary government school-going children. We call these centers COVID responsive because members of the communities only hold these centers for children so there is no external agent involved in this process. The field volunteers engage with children around Maths and Marathi through Activity-based pedagogy. Eklavya's role in this process is to support field volunteers in academic planning, providing resources, and to hold continuous dialogue around quality education. Niramay, a non-governmental organization, works for the cause of children’s health across more than 180 slums and construction sites in Pune. Niramay envisions a new generation of change-makers who can make the city healthier and provide an opportunity to the marginalized sections of the society to make a more meaningful contribution to the city they inhabit. By empowering slum children, Niramay endeavors to actively engage them in writing their own futures and transforming their communities.
How we will utilise these books
We believe it is indeed important to inculcate the habit of reading and create a vibrant space where reading can be looked at as a fun activity. It would be a meaningful space that would be co-created by the intersection of activity centers and reading rooms. These readings rooms will be set up in 8 villages of Khed Taluka and in 17 slum localities in Pune city. Our core intention is that this does not become a stand-alone project of just setting it up once but initiate a process in a way that it sustains itself in the long run. The books have and still continue to add so much value in our lives, hence, we feel that supporting and enabling learning for children through reading is a gift that will stay with them for life.
