After resigning from her banking service, Jayashree came across the Knitted Knockers site on her visit to the US.

The volunteers have no targets and are free to make as many or as little as they want. Saaisha’s Volunteer base has grown from 21 in 2018 to currently over 350 spread across 5 countries.
The Knockers are made generally in 4 cup sizes A, B, C, and D. If the patient has undergone a single mastectomy they are provided with 2 Knockers, and those who have undergone bilateral mastectomy are provided with 4 knockers. Beneficiaries are given replacement Knockers Free on request after 24 months.
The feedback received by Saaisha from beneficiaries indicates a high level of satisfaction especially relating to the restoration of confidence, light weight, not feeling hot, unlike other prostheses, easy to maintain, etc.,
