Restoring Dignity and Hope
Registered Charity Number: 1144946
Born to be Beautiful is a charity that teaches beauty therapy training and skills to victims of abject poverty. Our goal is to restore dignity and hope to lives devastated by exploitation. We currently work in India and Uganda. The courses are full time and taught over 2 weeks. On completion of a Born to be Beautiful course, our students are given a starter kit, suitable for up to 50 treatments, a uniform and a certificate. We then help each woman get work, go onto further education or set up their own businesses.
At Born to be Beautiful our mission is simple: Our charity teaches beauty therapy training and skills to victims of abject poverty. We restore dignity and hope to lives devastated by exploitation.
Learn more about the work we do, meet our team and charity founder and why not enjoy your very own beauty treatment?! Nail art, hand and arm massage will be on offer on the night from our B2bB beauty team.
Tickets are £25.00 per person and include entry into our charity raffle with fabulous prizes

Words from Students in Our Program
Before Mary (HIV+ student from Uganda) came on this course, she thought she was useless in this life and had nothing to offer her children, no way of making money to buy food, clothes or send them to school.
Neelam lives in the slums of India with an uncle after being abandoned by her parents when she was small. Daily she is told she is worthless, he is tired of her and he threatens to send her away to another distant relative, but says no one will have her.
When asked how she had changed since beginning the course. Pooja answered; ‘I have never been to a class before and I realised I liked learning. I have always been interested in beauty work but it was far too expensive so my parents told me I had to work in a brothel to help feed our family’
