One of our business goals is to empower women through education and economic growth, because we are conscious that helping women especially in Africa is equivalent to helping a community. In this way, we will allocate 10 dollars to every sold item in our shop to support a project in Senegal, our business home. Please help us achieve these goals.
Here we are at milestone 0.
We have putted together a list of projects we will be executing:
Provide scholarships to girls in middle school, high school and college. Because a key barrier to women education in Senegal is financial means to pay school fees. ;
Provide school supplies to girls at school. Because we are also conscious that school supplies are lacking for many students especially in the rural area ;
Provide funding, equipments or training to women in need to start or support their small businesses ;
Provide means of transportation to girls to go to school ;
Helping pertinent organizations advocating for women’s rights ;
Helping pertinent organizations empowering women.
More projects will be added along the way. For each project we will evaluate the beneficiaries in the most transparent way, we will also provide all the details along the way.
Our business being also a women’s business, we will optimize the number of women who will be working in our organization and involve as much as we can women in the leather artisan sector and more specifically in our production team.
