AMITY BRAIDS
As our signature braid, the Amity braid is one that we hold close to our hearts. In all simplicity, it is a basic technique a braider learns in her first class. From choosing the material and color to the actual braiding process - as she weaves each strand over the other, she gains confidence through practice to complete her maiden braid. Created by our braiders, as young as 9 years old, we celebrate their first steps in learning a skill, forming a bond with the community, and rebuilding their lives.
The PoPstrings Project is entirely run by volunteers which we are so ever grateful for.

In Her Stride Event
November 30, 2019
In Her Stride: Together we are Stronger is an event organised by the Singapore Council of Women’s Organisations (SCWO), in commemoration of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.
In 2018, we followed a survivor’s journey towards empowerment and a future without violence. And in 2019, we recognised that putting an end to family violence cannot be achieved by us alone. So we decided to take it a step further by involving the community through the sale of bracelets, personally handcrafted by the survivors. Women who are leaders of their own fields also stepped forth to express their support; to inspire their fellow sisters and the rest of the community to join this cause.
