CCOT Kick-started its activities for the Academic Year 2026-2027, with the Hygiene Drive. by distributing menstrual pads. This year we mapped out 183 less privileged homes in and around Bangalore, this included 10 elder homes, 1 toddler home, and a few destitute homes. The remaining homes were for children aged between 7-18 years, (3rd standard to 2nd PUC).

Traditionally, CCOT supported 850 children across 12 homes, with 6 of these being girl’s homes, last year, CCOT had distributed 24,000 pads to 6 homes.

This year, we expanded our reach to an additional 15 homes from the new list. We distributed 40,000 menstrual pads across 21 homes, CCOT will re-visit this drive in October 2026 and based on the requirement a second drive will be planned.

CCOT Thanks Lodge of Light 413 & Our Own CC Member Anup Joseph Kattukaran for sponsoring the Menstrual Drive.
