Purchase with a Purpose!

Posted in Orphans by Ericka Bennett on 11/16/2008 Visit here blog here

As you’re Christmas shopping, why not buy something that makes a real difference in the world? Check out these three options that take your buying power up from more than just getting a great product. With each purchase you bring hope to orphans, widows, and women being rescued from the sex trade. You’re also impacting their families and their communities! Who knew a t-shirt, scarf, or purse could have that much power?

The proceeds from just one t-shirt is enough to feed an orphan in Swaziland one meal a day for over a month! The Sound of Hope is a music-driven campaign that raises money and awareness for orphans in Swaziland, Kenya, and India.

Timbali Crafts – click here to buy a handmade African purse from Swaziland!

TIMBALI CRAFTS are created by women who work as volunteer cooks at feeding centers for orphans in Swaziland, Africa, where over 40% of the population is HIV positive. 

Many of the women have been widowed or abandoned, are single mothers, or grandmothers raising grandchildren that have been orphaned. Craft sales help provide an income for these hard working women and their families who would otherwise have little or none.
