9m 30s
After Kerryn escaped an abusive marriage while living in Australia she discovered first-hand how hard it is for women and their children to restart their lives after leaving the sanctuary of a women's refuge. After moving to NZ with her young children she founded the Woven Earth charity. Much like in Australia, women's refuges don't have the money or staff to help families after they have left a refuge and secured housing. Most often these families move into their new home with little more than the clothes on their back, and with little or no resources to buy much needed household goods. That's where Kerryn and her team come in. They collect and store donated household goods until the moment they are needed. They then transport them to the new house and set it up for the family on the day they move in. Simonne follows Kerryn's day as she sets up her first house.
