One in three women globally will be affected by some form of reproductive disease in their lifetimes. They can seriously impact a woman’s quality of life, livelihood, and productivity. Many are poorly understood and under-researched, and yet most can be identified and managed with early screening and an awareness of the symptoms. They’re particularly prevalent in and dangerous for black women. They impact fertility, the likelihood of having to undergo major procedures, and they drive up the costs associated with maintaining health. 

That’s why on International Women’s Day 2024, Evoca Foundation launched its partnership with Youterus Health, a social impact organisation advancing African women’s care. Together, we wanted to start a conversation that equips women and girls the world over with the resources they need to support their uterine health and protect their quality of life. Have a look at the campaign, understand more about uterine conditions and learn what you can do to protect your health here.

Earth Day’s 2024 Planet vs Plastic’s theme called for an unwavering commitment to end plastic use for the sake of human and planetary health. For Evoca, to consider ‘Planet vs Plastics’ is to consider the whale, and so ‘The Whale Song’ was born. These majestic creatures are instrumental in regulating the Earth's atmosphere and oceans, but their survival is threatened by a global plastics crisis, pollution, climate change and illegal whaling. Conservation efforts to safeguard whales from damaging plastics are key to preserving the delicate balance of our oceans and guiding the planet in its entirety towards a healthy future.

“On this Earth Day, let us celebrate the bond between our species, the connection that transcends the boundaries of land and sea. Let your actions be a testament to the belief that together, we can ensure the oceans remain a haven for all who call it home.” Watch the The Whale Song short film in full here.

Every year, on October 11th, the world is asked to pause and pay attention—to really listen to the stories of girls who face struggles that are far too often swept aside. The International Day of the Girl Child is a call to reflect on the unique challenges girls encounter and to celebrate their resilience, their joy, and, perhaps most importantly, their hope.

This year, Evoca spoke directly to the girls whose dreams are nurtured by the grassroots organisations we support. We spent time speaking with them, listening to their stories, their visions, their plans for the future. Through these conversations, we saw not just the challenges they’re facing—climate change, gender-based violence, educational barriers—but also what they’re dreaming of. Our Day of the Girl campaign this year sought to illuminate the power of hope as a force for change, and was delivered in collaboration with our brilliant impact partners Bella Foundation and Bravehearts Ladies. We shared these voices and hopes with you so that we can celebrate them together.

For 2024’s 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, Evoca Foundation was proud to celebrate the brilliant work of Legacy of War Foundation and their extraordinary Land for Women programme. In ‘Sowing Seeds of Change’, we feature a photo series by Alice Kayibanda, a Rwandan photographer whose work brings the strength and determination of these women to life. Captured at two cooperative farms, Alice’s lens tells the story of women reclaiming their agency, healing from trauma, and building a future rooted in resilience and renewal. Through collective farming, they cultivate the soil as an act of reclamation, a commitment to life, and a way to honour the past while forging a brighter future.Explore 'Sowing Seeds of Change': celebrate these stories of strength and renewal through our digital photo gallery and magazine.
