Make a collection with your hen party to send underwear to women & children in Africa.

About

Smalls for All® is a Scottish charity which collects and distributes underwear to help women and children in Africa and the UK. In Africa, they 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. They also help charities in the UK that focus on alleviating poverty by providing women with underwear.

Why collect for Smalls for All?

Your hen party can make a significant difference to the lives of women and children in Africa by doing something so simple!

Giving pants and bras may seem like a small thing, but it can make a life-changing difference. For example, having pants allows women to remain in the workforce and girls to remain in school each month, giving them a better chance of fighting their way out of poverty.

How does it work?

Smalls for All will receive your donation of pants and then works with a number of partners who ship and distribute these to women in countries in Africa, or sometimes to charities who need them in the UK.

Read on for how your hen party can donate to Smalls for All and support other women in need.
