🌍 Fundraiser for Sustainable Impact 🌍

We're thrilled to invite you to the Women Enabled Enterprises fundraiser that promises to make a lasting impact on the lives of women artisans in marginalized communities in African countries. This auction and fundraiser is dedicated to supporting our mission of:

a) Providing retail entrepreneurship skills to over 1000 artisans

b) Representing over 100 incredible artisans at the most saught out wholesale retail trade shows across the U.S and other international retail markets

c) And helping our entrepreneurs secure a cumulative of $30,000 in micro-funds through our impact investor partners.

Our focus has evolved to become more niche, with an emphasis on being at the intersection of two of the world's most pressing issues; The Reduction in Extreme Poverty through African Women Of Color Artisans and to Help in the Decrease of Climate Change.

Women deserve the dignity to provide for themselves, our "teach a (wo)man to fish" philosophy is at the heart of our 12 week skills building program that results in almost 30% of the women we work with creating an average of 3 or more jobs in their community!

Uganda for example has over 600 tonnes of plastic disposed of daily, with only 40% being collected and only 5% being recycled. Pivotal in our work is partnering with our artisans and helping them utilize their craft to leverage waste materials and use it to create remarkable on trend accessories, home goods and apparel.

Our best-selling products in the "Trash to Treasure/Waste to Wonder" collection are a testament to sustainability, crafted from upcycled and recycled materials, leveraging fabric offcuts and deadstock. Through this collection, we are not just creating exquisite products but actively working towards eliminating waste in landfills.

The heart of our initiative lies in providing safe and dignified employment for women of color in underserved communities. Your generous contributions directly contribute to fostering economic empowerment and creating opportunities for our talented artisans.

💚 Why Support Our Cause? 💚

Environmental Impact: By supporting us, you're aiding in diverting waste from landfills and contributing to a more sustainable future.
Economic Empowerment: Your contribution creates jobs for women in marginalized communities, providing them with opportunities for growth and prosperity.
Global Representation: We are dedicated to showcasing our artisans' talent on our online marketplace (www.shopconsciously.com), at trade shows, opening doors to international retail markets and amplifying their reach.

✨ Every Penny Counts! ✨

Your support is instrumental in helping us reach our goal of teaching 1000 artisans, representing 100 artisan businesses at retail shows and helping our artisans aquire over $30,000 cumulatively through partners in 2024.

When we reach 1000 African women artisans through our program this year, we have the incredible opportunity to create almost 2000 dignified jobs in the underserved communities where our artisans are based.

🌟 Together, Let's Create Capacity and Opportunity! 🌟

We invite you to come alongside us in this transformative journey, as we collectively work towards empowering women artisans in Africa. Your participation in this fundraiser not only supports our immediate goal but also contributes to a brighter and more sustainable future for the most vulnerable communites.
