HAIRDRESSERS WITHOUT BORDERS
Juliette den Ouden, the owner of JDO Academy, has been a proud ambassador of Hairdressers Without Borders since 2019. A charity that offers education in underdeveloped countries such as India and Nepal.
ABOUT THE CHARITY
Hairdressers Without Borders mainly focuses on charity and educational purposes. They provide, togehther with their ambassadors, Hair and Make-up classes to beautiful and strong women who have been victims of violence or who live far below poverty line. Through these classes they get the opportunity to earn money by themselves and to support their families.
The training programs are very succesfull. At the end of the classes a personal growth of each women is visible. The women participating to the classes experience this as a great opportunity to change their lives.
NEPAL
Last year, Juliette traveled to Nepal to give those Hair and Make-up classes. Her goal was not only to grow the hair and make-up skills of those women but also to grow their self confidence.
LIVING CONDITIONS
The women trained by Hairdressers Without Borders live under very bad conditions. In the slums, the streets are full of plastic and other waste and the houses are not hygienic and safe to live in. For Juliette it was heartbreaking to see these women live under these circumstances. At the same time, this gives her extra strength to dedicate herself twice as much to this foundation and to contribute to the development of women.
INEQUALITY
In the underdeveloped countries such as India and Nepal, women are seen as inferior to the male gender. In most cases this leads to bad experiences for them, such as sexual abuse.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
Together with the foundation we work hard to provide these women with education and to develop their self confidence. Hairdressers Without Borders offers them the opportunity to train in hairdressing in order to eventually earn money themselves. To achieve this, we can use everyone’s support, including yours!
