Wellness Advocate Projects
Hope Humanitarian | Bangladesh
Girls on Fire | Kenya
The founders of this organization believe that girls are key to solving the world’s greatest
challenges, and it starts with healing and well-being for themselves and their communities.
The dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation ® matched funds raised by Wellness Advocate
Eileen Flannigan, founder of Girls on Fire Leaders, to establish a program that trains,
supports, and uplifts disadvantaged and abused girls in Kenya, transforming their lives
and families by becoming social change leaders in their own communities and beyond.
This aim is being accomplished through camps and workshops for over 2,000 HIV+ or HIV
at-risk girls from eight different villages and four ethnic tribes. These Resilient Health
and Well-Being camps bring girls together to help build social and emotional health and
leadership skills. They also emphasize healing in all stages of growth to ensure girls can
finish school, stay healthy, overcome violence, and become the leaders that the world needs.

On September 28, 2018, the Bangladeshi prime minister stated that 1.1 million Rohingya
refugees were in Bangladesh. With approximately 51% of these refugees being women and
children, the crisis disproportionately affects women, girls, and the most vulnerable.
Wellness Advocate Ashlee Miller decided to act and improve the lives of these women by
working with the dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation ® to build a women skills center for
Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. Through Ashlee, the dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation
matched $6,700 of donations to go toward the refugee skill center. This center will allow
women to learn to sew and tailor with proper equipment. By assisting with the development
of these skills, women will have the opportunity to create a source of income and be able to
afford basic necessities.
