Kohinoor - South Asian Charity Fashion Show

Kohinoor - The first ever South Asian Charity Fashion Show in Durham ! The event will showcase the history of various cultures. 

The aim of this event is to address two causes. Firstly, to showcase a variety of cultures, cherish our differences and to form a community. The second is to ensure that, through this event we are able to support a greater cause from the profits. We are working with two charities: Future Hope (Charity number : 1157547) and Shaukat Khanam (Charity number : 1000580).

Future Hope is a charity based in India and support children who live on the streets and in slums. They run a school where the children study the local curriculum and participate in sports and other activities like any other normal school. There is a special focus on rugby with the school having a very strong and decorated team - many of whom have won local titles in West Bengal and gone on to become Indian rugby union internationals. Shaukat Khanam is first pioneering cancer research facility and treatment center who believe in providing free cancer care for patients irrespective of whether or not patients can afford the treatment. They are an established charity for the past 27 years, and have a number of centers all over Pakistan that help in the awareness, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer in Pakistan.
