Recycle bras for Africa
Here at Your Smalls Appeal we pride ourselves in ensuring the bras which we send to those in need are in good condition and safe to wear. We kindly ask that you send bras which are clean, undamaged and in overall good condition. Thank you!
Our History
We started collecting bras for Africa back in 2016. Our story began in the Gambia, where we have strong links to the Wullingkumma Nursery School and Lower Basic and medical centre. We send over lightly worn old bras and new bras donated by members of the public just like you. Ever since that first shipment in 2016, those donations to our bra charity have given comfort and support to thousands of girls and women, making them feel Bratastic!
Of course, when we recycle bras for Africa, it is just a part of the work we do. In 2017, we connected with a charity in Mombasa, Kenya to provide starter bras and menstruation kits to young school girls in the area. Our goal is to ensure that every girl gets the right underwear for health development, a menstruation kit to avoid period poverty, and, wherever possible, an education that will open up the number of opportunities available to them.
In 2022 we supplied thousands of bras and much-needed sanitary pads to help Ukrainian women and girls and local Foodbanks within Leicestershire.
