Same Sky

If you've been a regular follower on here of my twitter/instagram  you've seen me volunteer, attend or promote various  non-profits dealing with helping all sorts of things from animals to people, but especially women and refugees.  When I was getting my Simon Fashion Now post ready for the Galleria I learned about Same Sky, an accessories shop dealing with just that.  Focused on empowering women, and changing lives.  I love shopping for a cause.  Just look at the difference you can make.

Same Sky is a fair-trade initiative that offers employment to women living with HIV/AIDS in Sub Saharan Africa. Trained as artisans, Same Sky women earn 15 to 20 times the average wage to hand-crochet beautiful glass bead jewelry. Instead of a handout, SAME SKY believes in giving women a hand-up and the opportunity to lift themselves out of poverty. 100% of net-proceeds from the sale of SAME SKY’s jewelry go to buying materials and employing more women artisans.
