What one kit holds
Every mother in a cycle receives the same complete kit during her prenatal care.

One on taking ferrous tablets, one on mental health in pregnancy and new motherhood. Written in Tagalog and English and checked by the clinic's medical team before printing.
A handwritten card
Written by a student volunteer in the U.S. with a word of encouragement and a verse or prayer for each mother.
