Because every birth is sacred

We regularly provide maternity kits to mothers from underprivileged and rural communities at government hospitals across Karnataka.

The need

Why kits matter

The idea began with our founder's own experience: pregnant in Finland, she received the maternity kit the government gives every expectant mother, and never forgot how cared for it made her feel.

For many families in India the weeks around childbirth stretch an already tight budget. A kit eases last-minute purchases and lets a mother rest and recover without stress.

  • Essentials for mother and baby

    Items needed during and after childbirth, promoting safety, hygiene and comfort.

  • At government hospitals

    Kits reach mothers at government hospitals across Karnataka, every quarter.

  • Now with baby-care hampers

    What began as maternity kits has grown into carefully prepared baby-care hampers.

Packed with care

Each kit is curated for the mother and her newborn, and handed over in person, often at a Seemantham celebration.
