Freedom Kit Bags - eco friendly, sustainable, hygienic sanitary wear. Women and girls in rural Nepal have no access to sanitary wear leading to a lifetime of infection, social exclusion and indignity. Our kit bags are made in Nepal, mostly by poverty stricken women, generating an income to those who need it most. The bags give everything a woman needs for three years of hygienic sanitary wear.
