Buying what is necessary for children to return to school can be very stressful, but for many, even being able to go to school is what really worries them. Every day, people around the world have to face hundreds of obstacles that affect their lives and that of their family. If long lines in stores and all the people going to the mall are your problem, then you're probably luckier than you think.
Although we know that preparing children to go to school is sometimes tedious, one way to make that process a little more bearable and enriching is to buy pieces from companies that have a purpose more than selling clothes.
Here we show you four brands of children's clothing that will not only help your little one look very cool during the school year, but also help others in need.
Colored Organics
This adorable children's clothing is made from 100% organic cotton, its manufacturers never employ children for manufacturing and 50% of all sales go directly to building an orphanage in India. So while you are preparing your child for back to school, you are also giving hope to many on the other side of the world. Win, win! Coloredorganics.com.
Krochet Kids
This company gives incredible opportunities to women in Gulo, Uganda and Lima, Peru, offering them work to lift them out of poverty. The women come to the factories to work and they also have the opportunity to change the future of their family. Every time you buy a piece, they introduce you to the woman who made it and also invite you to look at her profile so that you know more about her. Incredible! Krochetkids.org.
Toms
By now Toms is already one of the most popular brands in the world of philanthropy. And although they have expanded a lot since they started designing comfortable espadrilles, shoes are still a very important part of their business and their efforts to make a change in the world. For every pair of shoes you buy from this brand, a low-income child receives a pair as well. Toms.com.
Lemlem
Model Liya Kebede launched this company to empower knitters in her country Ethiopia. When you buy any item, including children's clothing, five percent of the cost is donated to the Lemlem Foundation, which helps provide African women with access to health insurance and economic opportunities.
