Guidance Note Menstrual Hygiene Management Kit and Cash and Voucher Assistance Programming

Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) kits are the package of items that meets the specific needs of women and girls of reproductive age. MHM kits primarily consist of hygiene and sanitary items. While the generic hygiene kits (soap, sanitary materials, toothbrushes and toothpaste) help people improve their cleanliness, the MHM kits serve a broader purpose, and therefore, contain a wider range of items (sanitary pads, undergarments, headscarves, abayas, shawls, whistles, torches and small containers for washing personal items) in addition to the generic hygiene items.
