“Shine and Thrive” is an initiative by NaariSamata to support homeless women in London by providing essential hygiene kits. These kits, containing sanitary napkins, shower gels, mouthwash, toothpaste, and shampoo, will be distributed on the streets and in day shelters. This project aims to improve hygiene, promote health, and uphold the dignity of homeless women.
