A lift for women: Bras for the underprivileged

Up, up and away: Nicole Lee, 18, is behind Uplift Malaysia, a volunteer programme that collects bras and donates them to women from shelters in Laos, Nepal and Cambodia.

Eighteen-year-old student Nicole Lee is changing the lives of women in need with pre-loved bras.

FOR most of us girls in Malaysia, bras are a necessity. But in places like Laos, Nepal and Cambodia, they’re a luxury.
