Meet the Team
Our Impact So Far

Sanitary kits were distributed containing:
-
Cloth pads from Goonj

Paper soap
The initiative combined awareness with practical support, promoting both care and sustainability while encouraging open dialogue around menstrual health.
1 . Menstrual Health Awareness & Sanitary Kit Drive
As part of the UMMEED community service initiative, students organized a winter clothing donation drive supporting underserved communities. With generous contributions from students and the local community, over 700 pieces of clothing were collected and distributed across multiple slum settlements.
During field visits, students witnessed families living in temporary shelters with minimal protection from harsh winter conditions. Many children lacked warm clothing and proper footwear. The drive provided essential warmth and comfort while becoming a powerful experiential learning opportunity for students - demonstrating how thoughtful collective action can create immediate and meaningful change.
2. Winter Clothing Donation Drive
UMMEED warmly welcomes support, collaboration, and active participation from individuals, organizations, institutions, and communities as we continue our journey toward building a more aware, compassionate, empowered, and inclusive society. Through collective efforts, shared responsibility, and meaningful engagement, we strive to create lasting social impact, promote understanding, and foster a culture of empathy, equality, and accessibility for all. Together, with continued encouragement and united action, UMMEED aims to strengthen its mission of inspiring positive change, advancing social inclusion, and nurturing a community where every individual is valued, respected, and given the opportunity to thrive.
