Besides selling these kits, Menstrual Hygiene Management sessions are conducted and for the same, collaborations with various reputed organisations and schools. The association with Rotaract Club of Bombay Hanging Gardens has resulted in successfully conducting MHM Sessions for over 500 underprivileged women in remote villages along with distribution of the kits.

Since inception, 3024 kits have been sold, with a total of 30,000 people being impacted under Project Inaayat.

Project Aajeevika

Aajeevika, in Hindi, refers to ‘livelihood’. Through Project Aajeevika, employment is provided to the rural women of Maharashtra, thus increasing their family income and henceforth, enhancing their standard of living.

Rural women are empowered to capitalise on their stitching skills. The women possessing stitching skills are identified from rural communities. The women employed are then vocationally trained in being seamstresses. This gives them a skill with which they can earn a livelihood and become independent.

Unlike any other competitors, the bags are customisable with zips, chains and other accessories along with an array of designs at the choice of our consumer. Till date, 2,000 bags have been sold under Project Aajeevika.
