Malia Designs – Carry the Cause
08.02.2010
My next purse purchase will be a Malia Design.
By purchasing a Malia Design you are playing a part in counteracting the global issue of trafficking by increasing access to economic opportunity for women and their families. Also you’ll be supporting two entrepreneurial women who had a dream and are now fulfilling it. Love supporting my fellow entrepreneurial women any way that I can. Read why they’re made:
“Malia Designs was formed to increase economic opportunity for women in developing countries, and to support local and international non-profit organizations that fight human trafficking in Southeast Asia.
Our products are made by non-profit organizations that employ disadvantaged people in developing countries as well as small family producers. By bringing their crafts to Western markets, we can expand their access to sustainable income.
Malia also aims to help victims of human trafficking by donating a portion of our profits to local and international non-profit organizations working in this arena. Human trafficking is a $27 billion illegal trade affecting almost one million people a year. We believe that one way to counteract this global issue is to increase access to economic opportunity in the most affected areas.” (From maliadesigns.com)
I found these little gems at The Bridge, downtown Holland. Carry the cause!
