With a heart for not only the community around me but also for people around the world, especially those in vulnerable situations, I'm honored to have Fashion & Compassion joining us for this weekend's Cottage Market. The work they are doing empowering women and creating alongside them, even in our own Charlotte area, makes them an organization I want to support!
Fashion & Compassion is a non-profit, jewelry & accessories brand seeking to fulfill our mission by connecting caring consumers with vulnerable artisans to bring dignity through economic empowerment.
We strive to provide dignified jobs to women (and some men!) in vulnerable communities around the world. And while we're based in Charlotte, N.C., we have project sites in five other countries including Ecuador, Ethiopia, Mexico, Rwanda & Uganda.
At Fashion & Compassion, our heart is to give, which is why we donate ALL net proceeds to our Ministry Partners to further meet the needs of our artisans & the communities we serve. In the local area, we work with several nonprofits to help our artisans overcome oppressions like human trafficking, addiction, homelessness, domestic violence and incarceration. The funds are used to help these precious women pursue their dreams, complete their education, find full-time employment & build a better life for themselves & their families.
At the end of the day, we’re just a team of Jesus-loving women who are doing our best to change the world & empower others, because we believe that small acts of kindness & obedience can do just that!
