INDEGO AFRICA: SHOPPING FOR GOOD

As a helping professional and self-proclaimed fashionista, I love when both charity and fashion come together – and Indego Africa has done this, seamlessly. They are a non-profit organization run from NYC that partners with women from Rwanda and Ghana to create beautiful things, with all the profits going back to the education and employment of the creators. Indego Africa started in 2008 and since then, 89% of the women producing these lovely products have risen from poverty. That is an inspirational and amazing statistic that truly makes me happy to hear, I genuinely hope that more companies arise in the same fashion, with the same purpose. Here are just a few of the wonderful things I have found on their online shop. I am loving the straw baskets especially! Enjoy!
