Hope School, Bulawayo.
Hi from Hope School in Zimbabwe!
We are a primary and secondary school of about 500 kids altogether, in a farming area not far from the city of Bulawayo. All our students come from low-income families, with high unemployment and lots of social challenges. With the high cost of sanitary pads, most of our school girls are forced to use cloth rags during their period, and stay at home to avoid leaks and embarrassment at school. Our vision as a school is to see every child reach their full potential, despite a difficult start in life. So for our girls to be held back by an avoidable issue like lack of sanitary wear is not acceptable.
And that’s where bettercup comes in! We are so excited about our partnership with bettercup, so that our girls can have a long term solution to keep them in school, even at their time of the month.
Ella's is a London-based organisation doing everything it can to ensure survivors of trafficking and exploitation have all they need to recover and build lives that are safe and free.
Ella's offers safe house accommodation for women when they are most vulnerable, care to help them recover, and long-term community-based support to help them build safe, independent lives. The support at Ella's is intensive and tailored to the individual, and is essential to the safety and freedom of survivors. Without it, many would fall back into danger.
The need for Ella's' work is huge. Around the world, 40.3 million people are trapped in modern slavery. Of those trafficked, more than 70% are women and girls.
Trafficking and exploitation are crimes taking place on a mass scale and the effect on people’s lives is devastating. Each of the women at Ella's has a different story, but all have been hugely impacted by the cruelty they’ve been through. Ella’s exists to provide survivors with the care and support they need to recover from these experiences and move forward.
