Since 2005, Uplift, with assistance from Intimo and Rotary Australia World Community Service, has sent 750,000 bras wherever women have requested them. Uplift tries to ensure they get to the women who need them without compromising their dignity.
They have sent bras to Fiji, PNG, Vanuatu, Cook Islands, Tonga, Solomon Islands, Philippines, Bali, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, the Northern Territory and the Kimberley regions in Australia. For women in disadvantaged communities a bra is often unobtainable or unaffordable.
This project collects new and second hand bras and sends them wherever we have requests. At Gungahlin Uniting Church we will be collecting any new or second hand bras you wish to donate in the designated box in the foyer and sending them through the Uplift Project to developing nations in the pacific. Please see Margaret Ford for further details or visit Uplift Project.
