Akshay Kumar is leaving no stone unturned in extending help to the needy. Right from his gracious donation of Rs 25 crores to the PM Cares Fund to the support extended for daily wage workers, the actor is doing his best to help the needy hit by the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown.

Ahead of Menstrual Hygiene Day, Akshay extended his support to a campaign to provide sanitary pads and kits to the female daily wage workers. The initiative is led by Samarpan, a group of doctors and civil servants working to serve migrant workers and daily-wage earners, including women with no access to sanitary products.

Akshay, who led the 2018 film ‘Pad Man’ has come forward to urge all to donate sanitary napkins to help the underprivileged women struggling to maintain menstrual hygiene due to the COVID-19 crisis. He took to Twitter to share a strong message that read:

"A great cause needs your support. COVID doesn't stop periods, help provide sanitary pads to underprivileged women across Mumbai. Every donation counts.”

Samarpan has so far distributed over 19,000 sanitation kits in Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, Jodhpur, Anand, Latur and Ujjain. The organisation has also teamed up with Kunal Kapoor and Varun Sheth’s Ketto.org to raise funds under the initiative.

Recently, Akshay came to the rescue of daily wage workers who are left with no source of income and donated Rs 45 lakhs to CINTAA - Cine & TV Artistes Association to help 1500 workers, who are badly hit by the Coronavirus pandemic and the nationwide lockdown.
