You’re Making A Big Difference
We’ve integrated giving activities into everything we do, by choosing us you’re helping to make a big difference.
You’ve helped us make an enormous impact throughout the world
Here are some of the projects you’ve helped to support:
For every bikini wax you have at nkd, we give access for an adolescent girl in India to join a reproductive awareness group.
In a supported environment, Adolescent Girls Club members discuss reproductive and sexual health issues through monthly meetings. They are informed about the female anatomy, their monthly menstruation and advised of precautions they can take, their right to say “No” to child marriage – not marrying before 18 and preferably waiting until 21.
For every male waxing treatment we carry out, we buy bricks to help build a school in Cambodia.
By buying bricks to build a school hundreds of middle school students are motivated to stay in school a little longer for a brighter future. The benefit? Each year of school can increase a child’s eventual income by 10%. Bricks and building materials are a good place to start in rural schools in Cambodia that have very low resources.
For every lash & brow treatment you have, we help to prevent child blindness by distributing a daily dose of vitamin A supplements to a child in Turkana, Kenya.
In the early stages of development, it is important that a child receives the correct nutrition. Access to a proper diet is extremely limited in Turkana as its people are nomadic pastoralists. Thanks to your custom, we can help a child living in poverty become more confident and courageous by providing him or her a new chance at life through improved nutrition.
For every leg wax we carry out, we provide a hygiene kit to a girl in Kenya.
The kit gives women and girls in Kenya basic female hygiene necessities such as sanitary pads. In Kenya, many women and girls living in poverty cannot afford to purchase disposable pads, and so use unsanitary and unhygienic materials such as old rags, which can cause infections. Many girls will stay home from school because they are embarrassed to attend school, missing a week of school every month – this can add up to 10 or more weeks a year! Many fall behind and drop out of school.
