Our Inspiration
At a seminar at Carriageworks in Sydney, we found ourselves inspired, fascinated and energised by the work of Peter Singer. As one of the worlds most influential philosophers, Peter has spent most of his life working to improve the lives of others and proving that our individual impact can truly make a difference for those living in extreme poverty.
It’s their mission to change the way people think about donating, and their vision is to live in a world where there is no global poverty.
We’ve decided to donate a percentage of our profits each year to a cause close to our hearts. This year in 2025 we’ve chosen The Women And Girls Fund with The Life You Can Save.
Why Donate to the women and girls fund?
General improvements in global health and development alone are not enough to reduce the disproportionate impact of extreme poverty on women; we must focus on solutions that make the world more equitable for 50% of our world’s population.
Women often lack access to healthcare services, leading to poor maternal outcomes and integration into their communities after traumatic and stigmatised birth injuries.
Globally, approximately two-thirds of illiterate adults are women and women are often primarily responsible for unpaid care work, both of which limit their ability to engage in income-generating activities.
Based on data from the World Economic Forum, on average, women only earn 77 cents per every dollar earned by men worldwide.
Additionally, nearly one-third of women and girls aged 15 or older have experienced either physical or sexual violence.
While these statistics are dire, studies show that community-led programs conducted over one to three years have been able to significantly reduce violence rates by shifting individual, interpersonal, and community-level attitudes and norms about gender.
Robust evidence through randomized controlled trials have also demonstrated that such programs reduce the likelihood by one-third of women being victims of violence, with effects that can persist for many years.
"Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little.”

What is the intended impact of the Women and Girls Fund?
Reducing Violence
Leading evidence-based programs run by community members to reduce violence against women.
School Contribution
Contributing to school curricula and mass media campaigns that address gendered violence to revert patriarchal cultural norms, increasing girls’ graduation rates and access to healthcare.
Remote community Education
Identifying out-of-school girls in remote communities and helping them re-enroll in education by working with families and communities to revert deeply rooted gender bias and patriarchal cultural norms.
Effective health care services
Providing effective healthcare services, such as access to contraception, which facilitates body autonomy and family planning.
Reducing Childbirth injury
Administering cost-effective obstetric fistula surgeries and post-surgery reintegration programs, which help women regain their position in their families and communities after traumatic childbirth injuries.
