CHANGING LIVES THROUGH
EDUCATION.
Education is the foundation for a brighter future. Did you know that education is globally acknowledged as the most powerful means of empowering girls and women and protecting them from the violation of their human rights. Investing in girls' and women's education can transform, and even save lives—the lives of girls and women, and the lives of their families and communities.
Investing in the education of girls brings high returns in terms of breaking cycles of poverty and aiding economic growth — but it also improves children's and women's survival rates and health, delays child marriage and early pregnancies, empowers women both in the home and the workplace.
For education, we focus on early education, family planning, and reproductive health awareness so that women and girls can be enlightened and valuable members of society.
Keep A Girl Safe
CambodiaProtect a girl from sex trafficking by keeping her in school. Being in school means they are regularly accounted for, and are less likely approached by traffickers with a fake offer of work. Skills taught in school, such as critical thinking, also decrease the risk of girls, and their future children, of being trafficked. Your contribution will fund a trained Anti-Trafficking Education Officer to visit her regularly and provide her with any school resources she might need, such as books or pens. It will also cover any extra tuition classes she requires to succeed at her education.
Support Women with Children
IndiaInvest in the health of impoverished Indian women by supporting the daily operations of a Reproductive and Child Health Self-Help Group. Enable women to work together and develop mutual trust and respect. Couples with one child gain mutual support and are able to access information about child nutrition, immunisation entitlements, spacing of children and contraception issues. Couples with two or more children render support to one another in the areas of child nutrition, immunisation entitlements, benefits of non-scalpel vasectomies vs tubal ligations and debunking myths about vasectomies.

HOW YOUR PURCHASE IMPACTS EDUCATION
POVERTY REDUCTION
When women are provided with equal rights and equal access to education, they go on to participate in business and economic activity. Increased earning power and income combat against current and future poverty through feeding, clothing and providing for entire families.
OPPORTUNITIES
Education also empowers a woman’s wallet through boosting her earning capabilities. According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, also known as UNESCO, a single year of primary education has shown to increase a girl’s wages later in life by 20 percent.
BRIGHTER FUTURE
Women are most vulnerable to trafficking when they are undereducated and poor, according to the United Nations Inter-Agency Project on Human Trafficking. Through providing young girls and women with opportunities and fundamental skills, this billion-dollar industry can be significantly undermined.
CHANGING LIVES THROUGH
HEALTHCARE.
Health is the fundamental right for every human being and yet billions of women and young girls lack access to the daily necessities for a long lasting life. Did you know that millions of women and girls die each year from the onset of health related due to lack of daily essentials every single year? The problem is that too many women around the world don't have access to essential maternity care. The result is that on average 600-700 women a day die from complications related to pregnancy or childbirth.
Nearly all global maternal deaths are preventable.
For health, we focus on providing dental and menstrual hygiene, maternal care for pregnant mothers, safe drinking water, paternal care and sanitary latrines in an effort for them living a longer life and to decrease the amount of preventable birth related deaths in the world for mothers to grow up with their children.

Protect the health of a mother by providing her a safe environment for delivery.

IndiaGive a mother maternal care during and after her pregnancy for a day. Save women in rural India from post-delivery health problems that hamper their ability to take care of their families. Proper antenatal care will keep them happy and healthy for life.
Safe Drinking Water For a Family
CambodiaAccess to safe drinking water is the foundation for the issues of health, education, food, and livelihood. This water is provided via the means of a Bio-Sand Water Filter that lasts up to two decades or more and is able to provide for an entire family. A Bio-Sand Filter (BSF) is a point-of-use water treatment system adapted from traditional slow sand filters. Cambodia has over 9,000,000 cases of diarrhoeal disease, costing the nation $448 million a year. One of the easiest ways to combat poverty and disease is to provide access to clean water sources.

We all live on planet earth and mother nature is our home and life. Aside from using quality sustainable materials that come from mother nature herself, we focus on having a green lifecycle from production throughout our entire process even when the clothing is in your hands.
For environment we believe it's important to help the environment but we also people lives to improve through these efforts that's why we focus on planting fruit and vegetables along with trees that can provide income and food for families. This way families have an positive incentive to help the environment by planting more because they also receive from nature. This creates a natural and positive coexistence and starts a sustainable lifecycle for people and the environment.
Plant a Tree
IndiaHelp plant one vegetable or fruit tree that provides food of nutritional value in a rural area by financing the purchase of a sapling, compost and a tree guard. It is necessary and important that pregnant women, who suffer from more health problems due to low education and poor socioeconomic conditions, and their unborn children living in rural areas, have access to nutritious food to lower the incidence of infant and adult mortality rate, as well as to birth a healthy child to society.
Reduce Carbon Emission by Eliminating Food Waste
USAEach pound of food rescued translates to 0.375 lbs of carbon emission that is not emitted because that food did not go to a landfill where it would have emitted methane gases as it decomposes. Methane gases are thirty times worse than carbon dioxide, and food waste would be the third largest polluter measured by carbon emissions if weighed against countries right behind the USA and China.
Provide Income by Planting a Fruit Tree
KenyaPlanting fruit trees can help farmers and entire families enhance their lives through income generation, and aid upcoming generations in general wellbeing. This project focuses on avocado and papaya trees that promote environment improvements and sustainability.
