This is Mary.

Mary is a tailor with a vision: to help 300 female detainees* in Zambian jails...

Zambian Jail (from Human Rights Watch)

...get access to sanitary napkins. Right now inmates have nothing. Some roll up a piece of scrap fabric. Others dig a hole in the dirt. Most dread that time of the month.
Mary has compassion for these women...
 |
Tumba Yobisika means "Hidden Pocket"
|
...and she's designed a cute bag filled with five reusable menstrual pads.
 |
Yes, they are supple!
|
But wait, it gets better. Each kit is made by a group of single moms that Mary is training in tailoring. These tailors are being paid, gaining job skills, and helping out other women in Zambia.
Will you partner with Mary? $10 buys one kit. Just $10.
And guess what? Your donation is TAX DEDUCTIBLE in the USA.
Mary thanks you very much for your support! I'll keep you posted on our progress. Happy shopping!
*Many women are held for years before they are even charged with a crime.
