{Global Girlfriend}



This is a little piece of a big dream I have - I would LOVE to create [and I will - just wait and see!] a store with a similar model as Global Girlfriend. Global Girlfriend is an online retailer that offers unique hand-made clothing, jewelry, paper goods and more that benefit women world wide. In 2003 Stacey Edgar founded GG with one main goal: to help women who could not help themselves. Stacey ensures that Global Girlfriend carries products that are made by women, in fair-trade conditions, and are earth friendly.

Also, with each purchase, a charity royalty is paid from GG to Camfed {another post itself!}. Camfed fights poverty and aids in Africa through educating and empowering young women. So when you make a purchase from Global Girlfriend, you are not only buying from a women in India, Bangladesh, or Brazil, and helping change their lives, but also aiding the fight in Africa.

A must do is to check out Global Girlfriends Meet the Artisans - you can see the reality of how people live, and know that you can make a difference.
