Escabags is a not-for-profit charity still very much in it’s infancy who distribute ‘Escape Bags’ to over 1600 stockists throughout Australia, a number that continues to grow every week.
100% of the funding acquired to date has been as a result of successful fundraising events and one-off donations from individuals and organisations, which is why the below corporate partners play such a vital role in supporting our initiative.
“Here at dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation Australia and New Zealand, our purpose is clear: we wish to help the world heal, by equipping individuals with the tools they need to rise above their challenges and empower with impact.
We have donated over $2.3 million in products & grants in 2023, to support those facing poverty and distress. These funds reached communities in need, providing essential resources, and fostering positive change.
Our partnerships with organisations like Escabags allow us to amplify our mission. Together, we create a ripple effect of hope, ensuring that crucial, life-changing services continue to reach families in their time of need.”

“We first heard of afledgling Escabags and the founder of this really worthwhile venture through an Australian TV news item.
We immediately knew this was something that Cottons had to get involved in, as we have been long term supporters and champions of positive choices for women since our inception in the mid 1990’s.
We are so pleased we connected with (and support with product donations and other help) what is now a rapidly growing registered Australian charity focused on assisting the victims of abuse and domestic violence and encouraging them to take positive steps forward. The World needs positive change and Escabags are helping to make
that happen.
Violence against women (and indeed against men) has no positive place in anyone’s life, and Escabags offer encouragement and practical assistance to help victims move beyond being victims.”
