Elevate your style, and impact

When women enrol in our 12-month Stronger Women, Stronger Nations programme they learn valuable vocational skills, many often choosing a craft such as tailoring or beauty care training. This paves the way for entrepreneurship and financial independence. We are thrilled to maintain partnerships with fashion and beauty brands who share our commitment to women’s empowerment. Read on to discover which brands are showing their support this Women’s History Month.

Posh Totty Designs are experts in handcrafted jewellery. When the brand’s founder, Alice Rivers Cripps, visited our programme in Kosovo, she was inspired to create the ‘Share A Hug’ collection. Each piece in the collection embodies the warmth and comfort that a hug can offer, something which is so important for women survivors of war who often experience isolation. For each item sold from the collection, a percentage of sales is donated to women survivors of war.
