OUR ROYALTIES GO TO 2 PLACES
1) BALI STREET MUMS CHARITY
Since 2020, Lynette has been donating a large amount of her programme earnings to Bali Street Mums.
She has always wanted to be involved in a charity that cared for women and children, but she wanted to know exactly where the money went. When she met Kim the founder at the Safehouse in Denpasar, they clicked instantly.
Bali Street Mums is a small grassroots charity founded by Kim Farr and run by her and a dedicated team of mothers. They truly embody the spirit of resilience, courage and sisterhood.
100% of the royalties from all of our collaboration books go to support Bali Street Mums vital work. They provide work opportunities, medical care, hospital access, and rebuild homes devastated by floods or earthquakes for mothers and children in Bali.
Their education programs offer literacy and life skills, but go beyond that to speak of possibilities and dreams. They work with young women, supporting their mothers and grandmothers through their own life transitions, giving them a way to use their voices and live better lives.
You can visit them and the amazing work they do at www.balistreetmums.org

2) A FUND TO SUPPORT WOMEN IN SISTER CIRCLE
Many moons ago, women would gather around the fire. It was where the day was set down and the real talk began, where stories were told, grief was held, wisdom was passed between generations and no woman carried her load alone. The fire was the heart of the village, and the circle around it was where women were truly seen and heard.
Somewhere along the way, we lost that. We became busier, more separate, more likely to cope quietly and alone. But the need never left us. Women still long for that circle, a place to put everything down, to speak honestly and be met with warmth rather than advice or judgement.
This is exactly what a Sister Circle offers. Lynette has been holding these circles for many years, and there is simply no environment like it for a woman to hear her own voice again. It is the modern-day village fire, a safe, quiet space where women can express themselves freely, be heard without needing to perform, and find themselves again beneath all the noise.
We believe no woman should miss out on that because of cost. So, royalties from 'When Women Need Space' go to fund places in Sister Circles. Facilitators can apply for funded places on behalf of women who could not otherwise attend, women who need that space the most.
It is our way of keeping the fire lit, and of making sure the circle stays open to every woman who needs it.
