Greasing the Wheels for Global Ties

I have not fully described the on-going relationship that we are working to sustain with our friends in Uganda now that we are home. When we were there, we saw very clearly that the members of Kamba Cooperative were very skilled tailors. The CoOp's main members are all refugees coming from the Democratic Republic of Congo, and it is widely believed that the Congolese are in fact the most highly skilled tailors in eastern Africa.  That being said, after we finished our Christmas ornament fundraiser, we got to work designing a few items that we thought might be attractive to people living in other parts of the world. 

Here are a few examples from our first product line.

Bow Ties 

Beach Bags

Shoulder Satchels

Napkin Sets

Tote Bags

 Yoga Bags

All of these items are being sewn by our friends at the Kamba Shop, and we are committed to reinvesting the money generated from this partnership back into their community to develop more opportunity for more people. These products represent an opportunity for consumers all over the world to get involved in educating the poor and disadvantaged youth of the developing world.

Education is hope. Education is progress.
