About This Cause
What is the Mission? Our mission is to ignite your passion! By tapping into honesty and vulnerability, we define purpose. From there, the path forward is formed. What is the Movement? The Movement is plan put into action. Based on a thorough assessment of mission and passion, we work with clients to build a strategy for creating change. A strategy that is intentional, sustainable and focused on generating a domino effect of positive outcomes throughout communities. The Movement is not simply making a donation or constructing a building. It's the act of setting into motion a powerful and long-lasting change in the world. Education Investing in education is a cornerstone of our approach and is critical in allowing us to support the future of the communities we serve. Through our field work, we've developed deep relationships with communities, students and teachers, and we love seeing their progress through regular zoom calls and in-person visits. Our local education work includes supporting the Shine Kibera school in Kibera, Kenya and the Peace Perfect School in New Akrade, Ghana, as well as underwriting scholarships for students who's wish to pursue education is hampered by financial strain or home obligations. Community Development It is our core believe that investing in community development is an indispensable part of allowing local residents to lead self-sufficiently and with dignity. We hope that by providing assistance and training, we can provide a path that respects individual cultures while building crucial skills, knowledge and motivation. Our work has included building libraries and daycare centers, supporting local businesses and entrepreneurs, and providing employment opportunities to local populations. The City Chic Kriations Bead Shop in New Akrade, Ghana is a shining example of these efforts. It has resulted not only in employment opportunities for local women, but has also been fertile proving ground for our future community development plans. Vocational Training Inspired by our global travels, we have grown an unending appreciation for the tradition of creating handcrafted goods that tell deep and personal stories. As time marches on, however, many young people are losing interest in the unique handmade traditions of their communities due to declining demand. We have found that by investing in the teaching and sharing of these vital traditions, we not only create beautiful work that redefines luxury on a global scale, but we also support these challenged communities and imperiled handicrafts. In our Ghana bead shop, for example, we teach community members about glass bead making, sewing, and the creation of handbags and jewelry.
