Raising money for One Woman at a Time · 18 April 2020

We are a UK charity that supports girls and women fleeing gender based crimes predominantly in Kenya but also in India and the UK. Every penny counts when it comes to educating the girls in Kenya and giving them the opportunity to become role models when saying no to gender based crimes.

Story

I am currently a Miss Cheshire Finalist 2020 and I am really happy to be raising money for One Woman at a Time as it is an amazing organisation that needs more help.

I have already done lots of different things to raise money for the charity like up-cycling old denim pieces by embroidering flowers to them and selling them with all the profits going to the charity check out my Instagram page @saoirsehandmade to see these creations and purchase them. I also got my lovely friend Charlie Reader to do a Facebook live gig in aid of the charity and I have done a guess the bear raffle which was so much fun. The hardest thing I have done to raise money for this charity though is walking the sandstone trail in one day which was 36 miles done in total starting off at 6am in Whitchurch and finishing at 8:30pm in Frodsham. I am not a seasoned walker by any means so this walk was one of the hardest things I have done in my life 🥵 I felt it was important to push myself out of my comfort zone in order to raise money for this incredible charity as me doing a 36 mile walk is nothing compared to what these girls are being saved from by the charity 🧡 I am so grateful for all the support I received for this walk and couldn’t have done it without my trainer Pete and my fellow walker Charlie. Pictures and videos from my walk can be found on my Facebook Saoirse Curran and on my Instagram @saoirse_c 🧡 It’s not too late to donate to the charity for my walk I’d really appreciate any donations even if it is just a £1 as a little goes a long way with these girls 🧡 Thank you 🧡

One Woman at a Time help women and girls in Kenya, India and the UK who are at risk of forced marriage, Female Genital Mutilation and domestic abuse.

Their aim is to listen to women, hear what they need in terms of educational, emotional and financial support and offer opportunities to create choices.

In partnership with local NGOs they offer women and girls grants and bursaries to go to school, university, nursing college and on vocational training courses.

They also offer support and funding for psychologists and therapists, where women have suffered post traumatic stress through gender based violence.

​They also aim to improve health and obstetric care and have given medical supplies and funded training for nurses and midwives.
