Our story.
Why we started
[About 150 words from Itee, in the first person: what she saw, why she founded the charity, what she wants for the women it serves.]
Why we are called LifeSpark
We were founded as The Regros Foundation. In 2026 we became The LifeSpark Foundation. The name is about the moment a woman sees what she is capable of, and the way that passes from one woman to the next. Our purpose and our charity number have not changed.

What we believe
-
Dignity first
We meet every woman with respect and without judgement.
-
Practical results
Skills, income and independence matter more than theory.
-
Lived experience
We listen to women who have walked the path, and build with them.
-
Pass it on
Support is meant to spread.
Help a woman take her next step.
We are small and at the start of something. This is when your help counts most.
