SOCIAL PROJECTS
DR CONGO PROJECT and Nakayoshi ZapSap Project
The Democratic Republic of the Congo occupies an area of 2,345,409 sq. km in Central Africa. It is the largest country in sub-Saharan Africa. The eruption of the Mount Nyiragongo volcano in May 2021 forced more than 364,000 people to flee their homes in Goma and surrounding areas.
This volcano Eruption is the reason why we are here now. The devastation that occurred created an immediate need for action. The people needed food, water, and medical care which we carried in our suitcases. That was the start of our journey with Goma.
Water became our next challenge which pushed us to develop sustainable, durable, and simple shoes that the women and children could wear to protect their feet from the ragged ground. They are forced to walk for miles to get a small amount of water that will only last one day.
SOCIAL PROJECTS
FOOD FOR ART (PARTNERSHIP WITH CEDAIN)
CEDAIN is a Civil Association located in Chihuahua México. They have been developing ways to help Tarahumara communities since 2001.
Tarahumaras live deep inside the mountains of Chihuahua, which makes it hard for them to get food and water. CEDAIN have created exchange events in the city of Chihuahua; in these events people exchange non perishable food for unique handicrafts.
In partnership with CEDAIN, we offer you the possibility of owning these unique handicrafts through our INDI XCHANGE portal. With your purchase we can buy more food for the Tarahumaras!
