Share your pre-loved bras with Pacific sisters who literally need your support! projectuplift.org.nz

Charity collecting preloved bras and new underwear to share across the Pacific. A good bra is something we take for granted but for many Pacific Island women and girls a decent bra is either unaffordable or inaccessible. Please help by donating bras, crop tops, swimwear and new underwear so we can get them to the women and girls of the Pacific. Just one bra will go a long way to helping girls or women who quite literally, need your support!

Big thanks to Lesley Wilkin (one of our drop off points in Cambridge) for taking bras with her on holiday to Samoa. She delivered 50 to the Women's Refuge where they were gratefully received by Annabel!

Many thanks to Anne who took some bras with her on holiday to Paradise Cove, Fiji. She gave them to Dorini who will have no problem finding grateful new owners for them.

We send over 40,000 good quality bras to the Pacific each year and the demand remains constant!

To donate bras in good condition that you no longer need, please see our website for drop off points or postal address.

Women in neighbouring Visoto and Nacobo villages in Fiji were excited to receive bras recently. Thanks Nathan for the photos!

In the humid climate, women can get fungal infections, rashes and even ulcers on the chest wall under their breasts. Bras help with airflow and are much appreciated!

Thank you to everyone who donates their bras!

See projectuplift.co.nz for drop off points and postal addresses.

I picked up 36 boxes in three trips from Mainfreight Auckland in the last week sent by our coordinators in Wellington, Masterton and New Plymouth. This is probably about 2500 bras. Thanks to all you wonderful women out there who have been donating or collecting bras, we can make dreams come true for our sisters in the Pacific! Keep them coming ladies!

A big thank you also to Mainfreight for sponsoring our freight between depots. We appreciate it sooo much!

‘Maggie and her sister-in-law in Malakati village were thrilled - next time I need more bags!’ Message from my friend Caroline as she continues handing out bras as she and her husband sail in the remote Yasawa Islands in Fiji.

Thanks to everyone who donates bras and other volunteers for making stories like this happen 😊

Every bra counts! My friend Julie could only fit 10 bras in her luggage and gave them to the housekeeper at the resort shes staying at in Fiji. Julie writes:
‘Essi was sooooo grateful for the bras! She works here at the resort and will take them to her village. She was so excited, I wish I had more to give her!’

Thanks Julie!

We get bras to the Pacific any way we can, including on yachts! My friend Caroline took some with her when sailing from NZ to the remote Yasawa Islands in Fiji recently. Here she gave some to a woman on Nanuya island to share with other locals.

Caroline writes ‘Here's one happy lady!! She told me she only had 2 bras and had to give her friend one of them, and they were really old but that she cannot easily get underwear of course!!!!! She was thrilled!’

Thanks Caroline!

How happy are these ladies?! Your donated bras were well received in Naqarani village, Viti Levu, Fiji. Thanks Api for the photos.

Having a bra can be life-changing for some of these women and the bra she receives from Project Uplift may be the only bra she owns!

See projectuplift.org.nz for a list of drop off points around NZ, also a postal address. Thank you everyone for your bra donations 🙂

Big thanks to our Rangiora collector Carolyn Burr for these photos - she spoke briefly about Project Uplift at a local Pink Ribbon event last month and collected over 200 bras in total! Well done Carolyn and thanks for spreading the word about Project Uplift!
