Woven Earth turns empty houses into homes for those who have fled violence and are trying to rebuild their lives. We are a caring community of individuals and businesses passionate about doing something positive in response to family violence.
A core part of our goal is to support the brave people who are walking the family violence journey. We make a point of finding out each family member's special interests, favourite colours and hobbies. We put particular focus on what possessions the children may have had to part with as a result of being forced to flee. It becomes our mission to source items including toys, belongings and items special to each child to ease the turmoil often experienced by being caught up in this journey.
Through the power of community spirit we use social media, personal networks and monetary donations to gather good-quality furniture, beds, bedding, homewares and whiteware, before transporting them to families in need. On average, we fill about 5 homes a week, yet sadly there is demand to do many more. We are passionate about giving dignity to the families we support and equally to the givers who donate their preloved items to help us fill homes and furnish lives.
