Week 3 EOC: Making Money for Good

There are many examples of great companies that give back to communities or help others. There are 3 companies that I agree with their causes and I support them fully: Sseko Designs, No one Without, and Common Threadz. I think these ones are unique and have a brilliant idea to make a difference in today’s world.

Sseko Designs helps women from the country of Uganda raise funds for their university education. These women are given a job to sell, make, and market the sandals for Sseko. This company was founded because there is a lack for these women. In Uganda, you have 9 months to raise all of your money for your university education. With men being the predominate recipients of funds for college and the lack of women even furthering their educations and going to university, Sseko stepped in to make dreams come true. Their story says it all: “Sseko Designs hires recent secondary school graduates for this nine month period to live and work together, while earning money that will go directly towards their university education. These women will not make sandals forever. They will go on to be doctors, lawyers, politicians, writers and teachers that will bring change and unification to a country divided and ravished by a 22 year-long war.”  Sseko Designs

“"With every product sold a life is changed. Make your choice, share your voice". No One Without is a "FOR PURPOSE COMPANY" who is devoted to freeing those from the chains that bind them. Wherever, whomever, whatever the need may be, N.O.W. is on a mission to help.” No one Without Wouldn’t you love to be involved with a company that has this as their mission statement? This company uses the sales of their products to benefit the non-profit partner the purchaser would like. N.O.W. donates 20% of each sale to the benefit you would like. With this you can help a cause more.

The last company I choose has a very different approach. They help children in developing nations to reach their full potential while using local grass roots community organizations. Common Threadz They sell T-Shirts that are created by artists, orphans, and celebrities. They also have bracelets and shoes for sale. Common Threadz is a very unique company that I enjoy purchasing from and knowing that each thing I buy is directly benefiting a child in need.
