A Huru Kit is more than just a set of reusable pads—it’s a girl’s ticket to confidence, dignity, and uninterrupted education. Each kit includes:
- Reusable sanitary pads
- Underwear
- Soap
- A waterproof storage bag
- Educational materials on menstrual health
Designed to last up to two years, a Huru Kit offers a safe, sustainable solution for managing periods.
Every Huru Kit is produced by our skilled production team in Nairobi, ensuring the highest quality and hygiene standards. By manufacturing locally, we not only provide essential products for girls but also create meaningful employment opportunities in the community.
