OUR STORY
Resilient and strong, the lotus flower grows in muddy water, only to blossom into something incredibly beautiful
Our Story
We were born out of our Founder and CEO Taban Shoresh OBE’s passion, personal experience and response to the humanitarian crisis in Kurdistan, northern Iraq in 2014.
The Lotus Flower is a registered charity in England and Wales with the charity number 1203840. We are also registered in Kurdistan and in Iraq.
Our Vision
We support vulnerable women and girl conflict survivors so that they are safe and have the tools and opportunities they need to heal, learn and grow.
Our fundamental belief is that women and girls are powerful drivers of change, and we strive for a world where they are free from violence, able to access education and empowered to participate in their communities to drive social and economic change
from within.
