Go Girl Foundation

What Go Girl Foundation does

Go Girl Foundation is an India-registered non-profit organization (NGO) headquartered in South Delhi that conducts menstrual health and hygiene programs for women and girls in economically disadvantaged communities. Founded in 2015 and operating across Delhi NCR, Rajasthan, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, and Haryana, the foundation delivers school-based awareness sessions covering menstruation education, hygiene practices, balanced diet, myth-busting, mother-daughter communication, and demonstrations of reusable pad use, alongside rural community campaigns that have reached agricultural worker cohorts in places such as Bareilly. Its primary product is the ReliefPad reusable sanitary pad — an antibacterial pad offered in two sizes for day (up to 8 hours) and night (up to 10 hours) use, designed for an 18-month lifecycle that materially lowers recurring distribution cost versus disposable alternatives.

The foundation does not generate commercial revenue; all programs are delivered free of charge to beneficiaries. Its operating model rests on three revenue streams: individual donations and crowdfunding, corporate CSR partnerships (with named partners including AICL, HFCL India, Siegwerk India, Fueladream, Rotary Club Elite Kapurthala, Pavitrementhe, and Dr. Bronner's), and collaborations with on-ground NGO partners (SOSVA, YMCA, Sewa Bharat, Literacy India, Care India Welfare Trust, URIDA, Adarsh Seva Samiti, Do Better Foundation, among 12+). The foundation holds 12A and 80G tax-exempt certifications and a CSR1 Form approval, which together enable tax-deductible donations and make it eligible to receive mandatory corporate CSR funding under India's Companies Act.

Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven: direct school and village-based awareness sessions serve as the engagement touchpoint, with reusable pads distributed on-site. Beneficiary segments are segmented by use case — school-going adolescent girls in government schools (primary), rural women in economically backward communities (primary), and working women in agricultural settings (secondary) — rather than by income tier. Headcount is reported in the 11-50 band with no public management roster disclosed, and no revenue figures are publicly available.
