Purchase of Reusable Cloth Masks, Mumbai
Mahila Bachat Gat is a SHG of 8 marginalised women in Mumbai involved in tailoring activity. With lockdown, their families which had earlier been earning their livelihood by street vending or ricksha driving etc have lost their sources of income. Samarpan is purchasing reusable cloth face masks in bulk from this SHG and distributing the same to the essential service providers and the people in need. We also look towards capacity augmentation of the unit by providing them infrastructural support and further providing them better markets.

Purchase of sanitary pads by Myna Mahila, Mumbai
Myna Mahila is a foundation which employs women from Mumbai slums to manufacture and sell affordable sanitary napkins. During the Covid -19 lockdown, we purchased 10,000 sanitary napkins from the organisation to be distributed to the women in slums, containment zones and hospitals. This not only ensured access to safe menstrual hygiene to these women in the critical times, it also ensured livelihood support to the Foundation women when their families were facing financial hardships because of the lockdown.
