MHM Kits or Dignity Kits

Kit Content

A number of essential items are critical to enable women and girls to manage their menstruation with dignity: a bucket, laundry soap, a rope and pegs to enable washing and drying are actually not less important than the pads or underwear.
Additional items can be added to each distributed kit, this will depend on the local context and socio-cultural situations: a cloth skirt/sari/khanga/sulu can be added to support dignity of women during bathing, or to hide blood stains on clothing. A lamp or torch can also be included to increase safety.
Note that in water-scarce regions, washing clothes or reusable pads may be challenging due to the lack of water. In transit situations, where women and girls are frequently on the move, reusable pads may not be practical.
