Woman £2 Woman

       £2 from the sale of each piece will go towards the ‘Woman £2 Woman’ initiative. A lucky woman somewhere becomes the owner of a beautiful piece of jewellery, and at the same time is helping another not so fortunate woman somewhere to improve her quality of life.

There are an estimated 1,345 million people who live in acute poverty on less than £2 a day. Women and children make up more than half this number. They face daily challenges incomprehensible to majority of us: access to basic health care and education; safe water and sanitation; nutrition and the right to live in a safe environment free from harmful traditional practices such as forced child marriages and female genital mutilation.

In developing countries £2 can go a long way... It will help a woman:

• Feed her family
• Access basic health care
• Access HIV/AIDS counselling and testing
• Access safe water
• Pay for her child's school books

£2 will empower her life

A commitment to poverty elimination led me to work directly with International humanitarian development programmes for over 8 years across the globe from the Horn of Africa to Afghanistan. This means that I will be personally managing this initiative: 'Kasturjewels for the Woman £2 Woman initiative'. Funding will be channelled to various needy initiatives that I would have researched and will oversee it's direct impact. To-date we have supported nutrition initiatives in Southern Ethiopia and education programmes for young girls from vulnerable backgrounds in Sayla, Gujarat-India.
