In particular, the free sanitary napkin service OiTr was established in collaboration with the university to provide sanitary napkins free of charge.
Through these activities, it is contributing to SDGs for Goal 4 (quality education), Goal 5 (gender equality), Goal 10 (reduced inequality), and Goal 17 (partnerships for the goals). It will continue to focus on changing the environment on a project basis, not only by disseminating information but by actually seeing with its own eyes and visiting.
