I CARE Dignity Kit

Dignity, learning and practical care.

Kit assembly through partnerships

The I CARE Dignity Kit brings menstrual-care, personal-hygiene and educational essentials together, with a school bag. Assembly is shaped around the partnership and the people receiving the kits.

A Kit Built Around People’s Needs

Menstrual dignity connects access to practical products with information, privacy, education and supportive communities. WEEA’s kit approach brings these needs together rather than treating a kit as one isolated product.

Contents, quantities and product arrangements are agreed for each partnership and the people receiving the kits.

Education Alongside Practical Resources

Kit contents should reflect local needs, safe use and recipient preferences. Reusable items require suitable washing, drying and storage arrangements.

Product-use information and practical learning should accompany the selected items. Organizations can discuss the language, format and audience for menstrual-health resources.

Plan a Kit Partnership

Partners can discuss product sourcing, quantities, assembly, educational materials, delivery and programme support with WEEA. Availability, delivery, care instructions and product arrangements are discussed before ordering.
