L.E.K. is fundraising for SisterWorks, a not-for-profit that exists to help women migrants, asylum seekers and refugees to become financially independent and happily settled in Australia.
The organisation currently supports 171 women from 55 countries, including 88 ‘Entrepreneurs’ – who create and sell their wares from the SisterWorks’ ‘Home’ in Richmond.
The SisterWorks motto is ‘Work Empowers Women’. Accordingly, rather than becoming beneficiaries, SisterWorks women are treated as business partners.
50-75% of the profits made by the SisterWorks entrepreneurs are retained by the makers, with the remaining funds used to support the broader group.
You can support SisterWorks by donating to our fundraiser, and also by purchasing Sisterworks products online or from the SisterWorks ‘Home’ at 393 Swan St, Richmond, Melbourne.
