Charity of Focus for 2025 - IT’S NOT OK

Each season Shekinah House moves through, a Charity of Focus will be chosen. The charity chosen will align with our values in uplifting women through building spaces and building futures.

I’m so pleased to announce our Charity of Focus is the SHE Rescue Home in Cambodia, by IT’S NOT OK Projects. This is a cause that has been on my heart for some time, and I am thrilled to finally be able to share it with you all and shed some light on the important work the team at INO Projects do.

The SHE Rescue Home by INO projects opened a safe haven in Cambodia for girls aged 5 - 16 years who have been trafficked or sexually exploited. INO projects exist to restore, educate, equip, and provide hope to the oppressed, the trafficked, the vulnerable, the impoverished, and the at-risk. 

There are two primary ways Shekinah House will be giving back in 2025.

Firstly, we will be supporting the SHE Rescue Home through a direct donation with a 10% of all profits made with our first product launch in late-2025 going to INO and the SHE Rescue Home in Cambodia. The launch of our online store will include some of their beautiful handmade products as part of our first offering.

Incorporating their products in our first offering is the second way we will be giving back and supporting their work in 2025.

INO's microprise program is a big part of how they work towards safe reintegration of survivors by ensuring girls and families have a safe and sustainable way to make a living. The products in their shop are handmade by survivors and families and mean we can all help to alleviate poverty, educate families, and reintegrate girls safely. Shekinah House is proud to support such a worthy cause and to integrate these items into our first, exciting product release later this year.

With the upcoming release of Anthologia 2, a book I am thrilled and honoured to be contributing to, there has not been a better time to launch Shekinah House in fullness. I’m excited to share more of the plan as it unfolds in the coming months.

What an exciting chapter to be in, thank you for being here!
