Selling home made scarves, home wear and children’s clothing Ms Dyne and her mother Ellen Bennett work out of their 200 acre sheep farm. 

It was on Facebook where the pair stumbled across non-for-profit organisation Tandum and their program ‘Days for Girls’. The charity raises money for Kenyan school students who do not have access to sanitary products.

Tandum reports reveal the girls would use materials such as mattress stuffing, corn husks, leaves and newspapers to ensure they are at school or in public.

Ms Dyne reached out to Tandum, after some research on the company, and decided to offer her help.

“We take it for granted, access to sanitary products,” the mother-of-two said.

“This is a really great  because there needs to be awareness. I have two daughters myself, it makes you think when you have your own children, you chase any opportunity to reach their full potential."

The sanitary kits, which can last up to three years, includes fabric shields, soap, instructions and a colourful drawstring bag. 

Bandicute Designs have decided to donate $10 from each sale of their scarves, this is the same amount of money needed to put together the kit.

The program also gives the students an opportunity to make items in the sanitary pack for individual profit.

Ms Dyne decided to start the businesses early this year after she noticed a demand in hand made goods.

Patterns on the scarves are created using a Japanese method which includes clamping specific sections of the material and using a vat and oxygen to create different colours. 

Amber Duggan of Tandum says the partnership with Bandicute Designs “felt right”. 

“I think you will find many organisations are involved at some level with charity organisations, however sometimes the perception might be that the problem is too big, what can we do?,” she said. 

“We can do so much by working together, one community at a time. The sanitary kits and health education provide the information and resources the girls need to stay and succeed in school.”

Ms Dyne says  it is a common misperception that smaller, home-run businesses in Australia would be less inclined to work with an international charity. 

“There’s no reason why small business can’t get involved, even if it’s something small.” she said. “I feel so privileged to live this life and to give back in some way, shape or form - it’s a fabulous opportunity.” 

There will be seven scarf designs on offer. Starting June, $10 from each sale will go towards ‘Days for Girls’.
