So here it is (drum-roll).... We have partnered up with Kiva to help make a difference! With every purchase you make, we will donate a percentage to help empower Filipino women in need. Why women from Philippines you may ask. We picked women in the Philippines because this is where most of our handcrafted jewelry is made.
Have you heard of the quote- "Give a man a fish and you've fed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you've fed him for a lifetime." ? We have! We are true believers of this quote which is why we have chosen Kiva to provide women with the tools and information to realize their own potential.
Kiva Empowers People
So what exactly is Kiva, and what do they do? Kiva empowers people around the world through microloans. They understand how important financial support is for entrepreneurs, especially those living in developing countries. Through our partnership, we will help to enrich countless lives and communities.
We are very happy to be able to give back to the women in The Philippines by helping them succeed in their entrepreneurial ventures. We encourage you to follow our progress by visiting our team website at http://www.kiva.org/team/sylca_designs where you can loan as well.
