One year after summiting Mount Everest via the North Side, South African mountaineer, entrepreneur, and philanthropist Angela Yeung has fulfilled a promise that began at 8,849 metres above sea level.

For every metre climbed on Everest, one bra was pledged to restore dignity to women and girls affected by Gender-Based Violence and vulnerable living conditions across South Africa.

Yesterday, all 8,849 bras collected through the Impilo Collection Foundation’s #EmpowerHer campaign were distributed across all nine provinces through shelters, women’s organisations, and frontline support structures.
