SUSTAINABLE FREEDOM HANDCRAFTED

 

 

MADE FREE®

Every purchase supports a day of freedom from slavery and poverty through a self-sustaining job.

The MADE FREE® model was designed to provide sustainable social reform - addressing the root cause of slavery and human trafficking: poverty and the need for sustainable ethical jobs that empower. Handouts of food, clothing, and water may help today, but don’t necessarily change the circumstances for tomorrow. To win the war on poverty, we need address the core issues. For poverty to end, those who make our fashion need to make a livable wage. Every purchase supports a day of freedom for your crafter through a sustainable job that provides for a dignified, empowered, and sustainable pathway out of extreme poverty while reducing the risk of being trafficked or enslaved. Every item is made in a factory that meets or exceeds the World Fair trade Organizations (WFTO) standards.

Today, there are over 700 million people living in poverty*, many work in South Asia’s fast growing apparel industry. There are 40 million enslaved people in the world, 8 million live in India. 70% are females.**  Our mission is for one million people to be made free through self-sustaining jobs. Every purchase you or your organization makes matters.

According to The World Bank* and The 2018 Global Slavery Index**

Sustainability is important to us. From both a social and environmental standpoint. Our first priority is doing all that we can to help end the injustice of slavery and extreme poverty through sustainable ethical jobs. While at the same time using eco-friendly, organic and recycled materials where we can without compromising the quality, function and price our customers expect. In addition, our life-time guarantee supports a limited, curated personal collection of fewer quality items and a reduction of what we discard. Reducing our fashion waste may be the most impactful thing we can do to improve our planet. Second to oil, the clothing and textile industry is the largest polluter in the world. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), 84% of unwanted clothes in the United States end up in landfills or are burned. Together, we can change lives while protecting our planet.
