Women’s Dignity Bags

Restoring Dignity,

One Bag at a Time

Welcome to Behati Foundation

Every cent makes a difference

Behati Foundation is a registered non-profit organization dedicated to empowering women and uplifting communities across South Africa. Through our flagship initiative — the Dignity Bag Project — we provide underprivileged women with essential sanitary and personal care products, beautifully packaged in ShweShwe fabric bags made by local artisans.

By supporting Behati Foundation, you are not only helping women in need — you are also creating jobs for the unskilled and entry-level workforce, strengthening local businesses, and helping to break the cycle of poverty.

About Us

At Behati Foundation, we believe that dignity is a right, not a privilege.

Our mission is two-fold:

Alleviate Period Poverty

Too many women and girls in rural and economically challenged areas lack access to basic sanitary products. This impacts education, work opportunities, and overall wellbeing. Through our Dignity Bags, we provide sustainable support and restore a sense of pride and comfort.

Empower Through Employment

Each bag is handmade from authentic ShweShwe fabric, sourced from local businesses. This not only preserves cultural heritage but also provides sustainable jobs for women and men entering the workforce for the first time. Every bag purchased creates a ripple effect of empowerment.

How it works?

Making a difference has never been this easy!
