Our Background

Small Acts for Sustainability (SAS) was founded in 2019 by South Africa native, Fiona Almeida. We have served over (##) Siddi families in Karnataka, India and other minority groups in its surrounding villages. Thanks to local hostels and (clothing vendors), the small act of educating women about their periods promotes discussion around good hygiene practice, sexual abuse, mental health and environmental consciousness. In our sanitary napkin project, women were taught how to make reusable cotton sanitary pads. They were educated on topics like puberty, the reproductive system, and the taboos surrounding periods. The sanitary pads provided an environmentally friendly solution to keep girls in school during their periods. Small Acts for Sustainability empowers people and their families to create their own sustainable projects that make an impact on the entire society.
