The Beautiful Bunch | Flowers to Empower and Educate Young Refugee Women
Jane is an experienced social entrepreneur and business innovator. She is passionate about creating meaningful employment opportunities for marginalised women to grow the skills, self-confidence, and financial independence they need to fulfil their dreams. Jane is the Founder and CEO of social enterprise, The Beautiful Bunch, and is an advocate for using the power of business to create a more inclusive and sustainable economy for people and planet.
The Beautiful Bunch is the only Victorian not-for-profit (registered charity) working specifically with young women from refugee backgrounds who are experiencing barriers to employment. The work we do is crucial. Being young, female, and from a refugee background means that this group faces some of the most significant challenges to entering the workforce.
The women we work with are overrepresented among the unemployed and underemployed, and they face significantly greater barriers to finding employment than their male counterparts. The Beautiful Bunch provides a safe, welcoming, supportive and gender-informed work and training environment for young women from refugee backgrounds to work and learn.
“Our purpose is to support women from refugee backgrounds to build the confidence, skills, and social networks needed to find meaningful employment.”
