Smalls for All® is a charity that collects new pants and new or gently worn (laundered) bras for people in Africa and the UK who can’t afford or can’t get any. Because dignity matters.

Giving pants and bras may seem like a small thing, but it can make a life-changing difference. For example, each month many teenage girls miss school and women miss work because having no pants means they’re forced to stay at home during their period.

Boys and men need pants too of course, with requests coming from, for example, homeless charities and school banks.

In Africa, we help those living in orphanages, slums, IDP (internally displaced persons) camps and schools, as well as those in hospitals suffering from medical conditions like obstetric fistula. In the UK, we help charities and organisations supporting the homeless and people living in poverty or straitened circumstances.

Every pair of brand new pants and every new or gently worn bra you send helps us make a difference to someone’s life. As does every penny you’re able to give or raise for us to help carry out our work.
