“Play Period is so much fun. This is the first time I have come across a game where I learnt so many amazing things about my body and menstrual hygiene. It made me realize that period is not taboo.”

Meet the Team
In 2023, as a part of the Frontiers Champion project funded by the Royal Academy of Engineering UK, we developed and implemented a MHHM training module specifically focusing on school children approaching puberty in Ratnagiri, India. We identified a dearth of engaging, contextual, and easy to comprehend localized learning aids designed for school children to manage menstruation sustainably. The peer learning aid game ‘Play Period’ was developed here for maximum impact in terms of awareness outreach and community impact. We furthered the project outcomes and developed the Play Period app in 2025 as a learning aid digital tool which can be easily implemented within the school curriculum.
