Extending through Wednesday, December 3, the Citta Himalayan Women’s Center is teaming up with trusted international aid organization Camfed USA, letting your contributions support both efforts while keeping you in style this holiday season.
Until the end of the day Wednesday, any purchase of the deliciously soft cashmere S?tra Scarf will not only benefit Citta’s fair trade businesses in Nepal and India, but will donate $10 to Camfed USA. Every scarf you buy gives back to two amazing NGOs, helping to spread good holiday cheer to communities in need of aid, support and financial empowerment.
Camfed is doing incredible work to support educating young people in Sub-Saharan Africa, creating the foundation for a ripple effect of better futures. A solid education means healthier economies, stronger families and communities, and dramatically decreased HIV infection rates. Your donation makes a real difference in a young woman’s life in Zimbabwe, Zambia, Tanzania, Ghana or Malawi. You can see for yourself what Camfed is doing to change girls’ futures in Africa when the film Where the Water Meets the Sky makes its premiere on December 1 on the Sundance Channel. You can order your own copy of the incredible documentary here.
Handmade by Nepalese women working to build and sustain financially independent lives, each piece is stitched with the Sanskrit translations of words specially chosen by iconic artists — from David Bowie to Sting to Queen Latifah and Natalie Merchant. In mottled camel or grey, they are as soft and special as they are good-hearted.
