299 Days To Go

Shockingly, there are around 1,000,000 orphans in Malawi, an African country with a population of approximately 15 million. This is why Open Arms was established, a charity which aims to support orphaned and abandoned children in Malawi. The charity does not refer to their homes as orphanages, as their main aim is to build the strength of the babies and try to reintroduce them into the community, mainly by placing them with relatives. However, it is not always possible for the children to return to their villages, and so Open Arms has recently started it's new project of creating foster homes and surrogate families for the children (aged 6+) who have nowhere to go.

We are hoping that with the money raised from the Ethical Fashion Event, we can raise a significant amount of money that will help to fund these houses and families, providing a safe, loving environment for the children to grow up in. Not only are the children provided with shelter and care, they also attend a local school and even go on holidays, giving them an opportunity to have a real family life.

We believe that the work of Open Arms Malawi is invaluable, and it is for that reason that we are delighted to be donating all our profits to this charity.
