Our Mission Statement
The Elea Project is a project geared toward alleviating period poverty and assuring women’s menstrual health. We partner with local homeless shelters, community centers, and schools to provide menstrual products as well as health education in the greater Atlanta Area. The Elea Project is dedicated toward spearheading numerous initiatives to expand access to menstrual care through outreach initiatives, regularly-updated blog posts, fundraising programs, volunteer-based donations, and educational initiatives in local schools.
Meet the Founder: Deeksha Khanna
Deeksha Khanna is the Founder and Executive Director of The Elea Project, a project that aims to alleviate period poverty in the community as well as provide educational opportunities to students in local schools to assist in ameliorating the stigma associated with period poverty that continually exists in society. She is a high school student from Atlanta, Georgia, who plays volleyball on her school’s Varsity team, is co-president of the German Club/National Honor Society, president of the HOSA Future Healthcare Professional Club, and serves on the leadership team for the Society of Women Engineer’s Club at her school. Deeksha is a member of her local youth symphony and is a member of two volunteering organizations at her school, the Beta Club and the National Honors Society. As Deeksha has always had a deep passion for service, social justice, social entrepreneurship, and leadership, she has put forth her efforts into The Elea Project to channel these passions for the greater good and unite women in need of menstrual products to instill menstrual equality in society.
