Music has the power to unite, heal, and inspire change. Traditional Medicinals is proud to present a powerful global rendition of Bob Marley’s iconic anthem, "No Woman, No Cry," in collaboration with Playing for Change and the nonprofit WomenServe. This global performance highlights the strength of community, hope, and empowerment—values that Traditional Medicinals works toward every day.
Premiering on Rolling Stone the day before International Day of the Girl Child, this moving musical collaboration shines a spotlight on the incredible work of WomenServe, an organization dedicated to uplifting women and girls in Rajasthan, India, where Traditional Medicinals sources organic senna for its Smooth Move® tea. Together, they are creating lasting change in these communities.
The lyrics of "No Woman, No Cry" speak of enduring hardship, finding strength in unity, and nurturing hope in difficult times. In rural Rajasthan, women and girls face significant challenges, from limited access to education and healthcare to economic barriers. Yet, like the message of the song, they demonstrate resilience and strength, striving to build better futures for themselves and their families.
Traditional Medicinals believes in the transformative power of herbs—not only for their health benefits but also for their ability to drive meaningful social change. The company’s partnership with WomenServe reflects this belief, empowering women and girls in Rajasthan to pursue their dreams and improve their lives.
Through this collaboration, Traditional Medicinals supports programs focused on:
- Water, Sanitation, Health, and Hygiene: Providing access to clean water and essential healthcare.
- Education: Creating inclusive learning environments to help girls succeed.
- Economic Opportunity: Offering skill development programs to promote financial independence.
Together, Traditional Medicinals and WomenServe are creating a world where women and girls have the support they need to thrive.
