Design and provision of underclothing for underprivileged females
The venture will work with the stakeholders and medical practitioners to design and provide appropriate female underclothing for targeted underprivileged groups:
- Breast cancer patients: by working with cancer caring centres and prosthetic and orthotic units in hospitals to provide tailor-made rehabilitation bras for breast cancer patients.
- Mentally retarded persons: through collaborating with schools and NGOs to provide specially designed bras to the mentally retarded persons for free so that they can put on the bras by themselves with ease, thus enhancing their ability of self-care.
- Adolescent girls from low-income single-parent families: to offer quality underclothing to them at low-cost.
Besides, outreaching programmes will be held in collaboration with hospitals, schools and community venues to provide guidance on the optimum use of the apparel items.
