As I come to celebrate my 60th, I have everything I need (almost 💙), because I’m surrounded by loads of people I love ❤️.
Many women have far less so I would love it if friends and family would donate so we can help support them.
I've chosen 3 charities, and will share donations between them…
A local refuge for women and children suffering domestic abuse (I won't name it)
Penduka Trust - a cooperative in Namibia that I've visited twice. A local enterprise that empowers vulnerable women, teaching them craft and skills that help them earn a proper income for their families. You can find out more at http://www.penduka.com/en/
Sthree Craft Shop and Cafe - I visited this place in Kandy, Sri Lanka recently. Their aim is to create a platform for women and disabled people to create small businesses and earn an honest income. You can find out more at https://planeterra.org/sthree/
