Message to the world: Don’t stay at home and be scared to do things! Be ready to challenge yourself and be independent.

Sumathi has been doing quality checking at Kiruba for three years and has worked in Kiruba for seven years. This is her first job and she says she has never considered changing jobs! She enjoys her work and the freedom it gives her to value her own needs. She believes that it is important for every woman to be educated and work so that they can support their family, and fulfill their own needs. She also stands for everyone understanding the background of the products they are using, including the harm that disposable pads can cause over long term use. Sumathi is inspired by the healthy alternative of cloth pads, and especially by women working to support other women.
