Dont we just love it when successful fashion designers take the clout they've attained and use it to do good for the world?
Instead of just making a donation to charity, fashion designer Nicole Miller has actually been helping these Rwandan women, most of whom survived the horrors of the 1994 genocide to lift themselves out of poverty and become successful entrepreneurs. She's doing this by collaborating with them to produce clothing and accessories which she can then sell. !
The pieces are affordable, raging from $25 (18 euros!) for a set of three bracelets to $65 (50 euros!) for a pair of shorts, with 15% of the proceeds going to the nonprofit Indego Africa.
So, not only does a part of every sale go to charity, but Ms. Miller is helping these women become financially independent. That sounds good to me! Take a look at the pictures from the Indego Africa launch party:
