Making an impact
We aim to support and empower communities who need our support the most, therefore we are humbled to have the opportunity to support our chosen communities, which you can learn more about below. Every time you make a purchase from Soeurs, you are giving a small little chance to someone who needs it the most.
We donate a percentage of our sales value to communities that support female empowerment around the world. When you buy from Soeurs Jewellery, you’re not only helping realise a sisterhood dream, buying local and supporting a brand to grow but you’re also making a difference to several communities that support female empowerment and inclusion.
Women of Worth (India)
Running everything from mental-health talks to self-defence workshops, this Chennai-based charity is leading young women into a new era of empowerment, enabling girls to use their voices, learn about their rights, stand up for themselves and become leaders in the workforce, ready to take their place in modern India. WOW began life in 2006, working in schools and running conferences across Tamil Nadu, and has spread nationwide, with an outpost in West Bengal and regular outreach in Mumbai, Hyderabad and Kolkata. This year the organisation is focusing on the UN objective of gender equality, running activities that focus on gender bias and inequality in the workplace.
As well as its extensive range of training, WOW manages a grass-roots support programme where a network of peer leaders are trained to work in their local neighbourhoods and support any girls or women facing challenges and difficulties in their domestic, school or work environments. The charity also provides a free counselling service to support survivors of abuse.
