Charity: Smalls for All®
Smalls for All® is a charity that collects and distributes underwear to people in Africa and the UK who can’t afford or can’t get any. Giving pants and bras may seem like a small thing, but it can make a life-changing difference. For example, many teenage girls miss out on valuable days of schooling each month, and women miss days of work, because having no pants means they're forced to stay at home during their period. Men need pants too of course, with requests coming from, for example, homeless charities in the UK and hospitals in Africa. So every pair of brand new pants we’re able to provide is guaranteed to help give someone back their dignity at the very least. In Africa, we help those living in orphanages, slums, IDP (internally displaced persons) camps and schools, as well as those in hospitals suffering from medical conditions like obstetric fistula or who need to be fitted with prosthetics or orthotics. In the UK we help charities that support the homeless as well as, for example, refuges and school uniform banks.
