International Women's Day is approaching. We all, regardless of gender, ethnicity and age, have different battles to fight in our lives.
Some of the big battles I see are the battles women are fighting in many places on the African continent. In small village communities where neither women's nor human rights are present, where every day is a struggle to provide a safe environment for the family and to ensure the children a minimum of schooling and to avoid illness, great battles are fought.
It is such hard-fighting women who make all the basket products at Molly's Heart . We buy their goods at 5-10 times the price they can get in the local markets.
And what does that really mean? Are we helping their fight?
Yes, we do. Through 2023, Molly's Heart has 100% supported and improved the lives of 251 people. Of these, 188 are children.
A fair cooperation between companies with purchasing power in e.g. Denmark and hardworking women in poor areas means helping women and their families out of poverty and into self-sufficiency. We make their struggle easier.
No one can help everyone, but we can all help someone.
Thanks for reading along.
With love, Birgitte 🌍
