A family effort that showed what more is possible
Prior to the charity’s official registration on 1 September 2026, all activities including reaching approximately 45 women who received clothing and financial support were undertaken through private funding and personal initiative. At that time, the charity was not yet officially registered and therefore had no organisational funding or private sponsors. These efforts were made possible solely through the generosity and collective support of family members who came together to fund and facilitate the initiative.
