Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
During the 2024–2025 reporting period, Born to be Beautiful continued its mission of empowering disadvantaged women through vocational beauty therapy education.
The charity successfully delivered a professional facial treatment training programme in Mbarara, Uganda, training 20 women in facial therapy techniques, skin care, hygiene, client consultation and professional standards. The programme combined classroom-based learning with extensive practical training, ensuring that each participant developed the skills and confidence required to provide safe and effective facial treatments.
On successful completion of the course, each participant received a certificate of achievement, a professional uniform, comprehensive written training materials and a starter kit containing sufficient products and equipment to perform at least 20 additional facial treatments. These resources were provided to enable graduates to begin generating an income immediately through employment or self-employment within their local communities.
The training equipment and professional products used throughout the programme were generously donated, allowing the charity to maximise the impact of its available resources and extend practical support beyond the classroom.
By equipping 20 women with recognised vocational skills, professional resources and the confidence to establish their own beauty services, the charity has helped create opportunities for sustainable employment, financial independence and improved livelihoods for the participants and their families. The trustees consider this programme to have made a meaningful and lasting contribution to the communities served, advancing education and helping to relieve poverty through practical vocational training.
