Skin confidence is only one form of confidence. Our mission at Emma Lewisham is to also build the confidence of girls and women through equal education and opportunities. Confidence in a woman has a ripple effect in the way they live their lives and on their families and communities.

The way we deliver confidence is through support, education and developing skincare for women that genuinely solves skin issues.

That’s one reason we’re proud supporters of the Malala Fund. Founded in 2013, Malala Fund champions every girl’s right to 12 years of free, safe, quality education. We also donate monthly to the Girl Effect to support this mission.

The Malala Fund breaks down the barriers preventing more than 130 million girls around the world from going to school, often due to poverty, war and discrimination. They’re working for a world where every girl can learn and lead. Threats to girl’s education differ between countries and communities, so they use local educators and activists who understand local challenges and are best placed to identify, innovate and advocate for policy and programmatic solutions.

We are also looking for a local charity that aligns with our values of empowering females and ethnic minorities.
