258 To Educate
We have one goal this spring: Sell 258 scarves by March 9th to educate one of Miriam Kamanthe’s children for a year.
This spring we would like to give a child in Africa the opportunity to a better life. Miriam Kamanthe was our first artist that started working with Woodsmoke. She is an amazing person and has built a vibrant little business in Nairobi, Kenya. Woodsmoke’s goal is to support education in Africa.
We have worked out that it will cost $450 to educate one of Miriam Kamanthe’s children for a year in Africa. This $450 includes books, school clothes, and school fees. Woodsmoke is pledging to donate 5 percent of sales from our scarves towards educating Christopher, Miriam’s son. That means that we have to sell 258 scarves to educate Christopher for a year. Here at Woodsmoke we will work tirelessly around the clock to make this happen. Please help us to reach this goal. We will accomplish this but we need your help. To purchase a scarf and help us achieve our goal shop here.
When we do sell 258 scarves we will personally go back to visit Miriam and let her know that this will be happening. We will show you with photos, videos, and the raw numbers so that everything is transparent. If you would like to help out in any way email us at woodsmoke@live.com
Situation as of 02/20/10:
Scarves sold: 150
Money raised: $262.50

*We are still donating 5 percent of our wholesale sales – the numbers work a little differently because they are buying the scarves at discounted prices.
