Expression of Interest (EOI): Development of a Menstrual Health and Hygiene Management Awareness Manual

Development of a Menstrual Health and Hygiene Management Awareness Manual

NRS 300,000, inclusive of all professional fees and applicable taxes

Sparśa invites qualified individual consultants to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to develop a comprehensive, Nepali-language Menstrual Health and Hygiene Management (MHHM) awareness manual and facilitator guide for the Sparśa Ambassador Program, for use by youth ambassadors and community health workers in Chitwan, Nawalpur East and Nawalparasi West.

Sparśa is a social enterprise advancing menstrual health and hygiene, dignity, and climate justice in Nepal through biodegradable products, education, and youth-led advocacy. It is registered as a “company not distributing profit” under Section 5(1) of the Companies Act 2006.

We produce compostable menstrual pads made from banana fibre, locally sourced from agricultural waste. They are scientifically validated, plastic-free, and manufactured through women-led systems. This turns a waste stream into an affordable product and removes the plastic burden and disposal problem that conventional pads create in Nepali communities.

Profits from these products directly fund awareness and educational campaigns on menstrual health and hygiene and women’s rights across Nepal. Sparśa is not just an enterprise; it is a movement toward dignity, equality, and sustainability, one that addresses the deeply rooted stigmas surrounding menstruation while creating sustainable employment for women from disadvantaged groups.

Sparśa seeks an individual consultant to develop a complete, ready-to-use Menstrual Health and Hygiene Management Awareness Manual in Nepali, together with a facilitator guide and session plans, that Ambassadors and community health workers can adopt directly in schools, communities and health posts.

The manual must meet four tests
