Impact
Auroraz Soulful Gifts collaborates with two rehabilitation shelters in India, providing support for mentally challenged women through food, a safe space, and job opportunities. Due to their mental health conditions, these women are often left to fend for themselves on the streets by families who lack the means to care for them. The jute bags they handmake serve as a form of therapy, aiding in their healing process while also promoting independence. Furthermore, Auroraz partners with a rural women's empowerment project, offering education to children and teaching mothers stitching skills to help them achieve financial independence.
The ethical gifts by the Australian Social Enterprises here tackle some big issues. Your purchase helps them work with charities who are experts in the field and they make a difference in the space of empowering and rescuing women, improving human health, reusing items that would have otherwise gone into landfill, providing work and helping people break out of the cycle of poverty.
