fashionABLE Scarves

When I heard about this company, I had to share it with you.  fashionABLE has a mission to create a sustainable business for women in Africa.  Here's their mission statement:

"The fashionABLE mission is to create sustainable business for Africans so they aren't dependent upon charity, but instead earn the dignity of a job. We offer opportunity to everyone, with a primary focus on empowering women. When we invest in a woman, statistics demonstrate that she will have a life-changing impact on her family and community... and herself.

Through your purchase, you are ABLE to provide opportunity, and a woman is ABLE to have a new choice."

Their products are beautiful, hand made, and affordable.  Here's what caught my eye:

 

Scarves range in price from $32 to $65.

Leather Wrapped bracelets handmade in Ethiopia $24

Handmade leather wallet from Ethiopia $28

In Ethiopia, prostitution is something many women get involved with, and they become trapped in the industry unable to break out of the negative cycle.  fashionABLE is committed to rehabilitate and support former sex workers and help them create new, positive lives.  All products are handmade by women, and are supported by a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee.
