Supported Charities

BUFARMA & L’ilot work together to combat homelessness

 

Italian natural skincare company BUFARMA is teaming up with Belgian charity L’ilot to support its work helping the homeless this winter. 

In Belgium, the life expectancy of homeless people is only 49 years, compared to over 80 years for the general population. This chilling statistic illustrates the devastating impact of life on the streets. Living without a home means facing cold, hunger, disease, and violence every day in a relentless battle for survival. 

L’ilot has been fighting homelessness and extreme poverty for 60 years by addressing the needs of people who are homeless or poorly housed. The charity develops projects around five key areas: emergency shelter, temporary accommodation, housing, job training, and food security. You can find out more about L’ilot and its work on its website www.ilot.be. 

You can help support L’ilot this Winter. From now until the end of February 2026, the company has pledged that 10% of the purchase price of all sales on its www.bufarma.com website using the code ILOT2025 will be donated to the charity. 

 

BUFARMA®  is a new natural and organic skincare brand from the heart of Italy, offering a range of products using the remarkable skin repairing and hydrating properties of buffalo milk. Natural milk has been used for centuries to improve and protect sensitive or dry skin. Buffalo milk contains more lipids than any other milk and its these lipids, along with the high levels of calcium in the milk, has been clinically proven to improve hydration both short and long term.

By combining love for the land with lifetimes of scientific knowledge, BUFARMA brings these bare essentials – and their natural benefits – to bare skin.

Desert Flower Foundation’s mission

The Desert Flower Foundation has been at the forefront of the fight against FGM since its establishment in 2002. Originally founded as the Waris Dirie Foundation in Vienna, Austria, and later renamed DFF, the organization advocates for a world where every girl and woman can live free from the threat of FGM. Today, more than 250 million women and girls globally are impacted by this practice, with an estimated 3.5 million at risk each year. Every 11 seconds, a young girl is subjected to FGM against her will. The foundation’s work is a powerful force for change, striving to prevent these numbers from growing further.
