What Project would a laptop help you with?
I am currently working with the NGO Barefoot College and am involved in conducting menstrual awareness sessions where we educate women and girls in villages about menstruation, hygienic ways of managing it and how to tackle social taboos surrounding it. In addition, I along with other 4 rural women run a sanitary napkin production unit which makes low cost, eco friendly disposable pads for rural girls and women.

Paper-based records of production and stock make the entire process very time-consuming. A laptop would enable me to have digital records which would increase our efficiency and enable us manage to produce and supply pads according to the demand.
