The Kolkata Walk of Freedom
This project has reached its target. You may still donate to this project if you wish.
Raising funds to free women from abuse and a Trade that gives them no choices
International
I have visited and helped where I can in South East Asia three times over the last 4-5 years working with Freeset ( A company that was started by an Ashburton couple 15 years ago ) and have seen the incredible work they are doing
Freeset are helping free woman who are in the Trade and have been abused. Freeset can offer these women a choice of a better life including a job, education , health care and a sense of self worth.
My objective before I return in January 2019 is to raise funds, so more woman get the choice of a better life. For every $1000 raised will buy a sewing machine and someones freedom
