Fashion Designers for Refugees Kickstarter campaigns
These campaigns are designed to support up and coming fashion talent. They give fashion talent a stepping stone to success. These campaigns help to highlight new and original designs to the public. The public show their support by pre-buying the designs they like.
Renee Elliott, founder of Planet Organic, will be helping these designers build their fashion business via Beluga Bean after these campaigns are finished.
The orders these campaigns generate are produced by female artisans in the Swat Valley. They have an ancient tradition of artisanship there. This is being eroded by the conflict the region recently experienced, along with climate change & industrialisation.
Yes, this is the same Swat Valley where Malala comes from. Peace has finally emerged in the region. There are 2.5 million people looking to rebuild their lives in this region. With your support they can rebuild their lives while working with local talent that you support.
