Fashion & Compassion

Fashion & Compassion is a locally-based non-profit that works with women overcoming poverty and injustice here in Charlotte and in several other countries in Africa and South and Central America. They train women to make jewelry and accessories, pay them fairly and then donate ALL of their net proceeds back into organizations serving women in the communities where they work.



Fashion & Compassion connects caring consumers with vulnerable women artisans to bring dignity through economic opportunity. Their vision is is transform communities through holistic economic empowerment that brings dignity and opportunity to individuals who have been caught in a web of poverty and injustice as they heal spiritually, emotionally & physically.

The & symbol in their logo is a significant part of their purpose…”We want to connect women who are overcoming poverty and injustice with HOPE and a future for themselves and their children by connecting them with God and to western markets where they can sell their beautiful products. We also want to connect you to these stunning accessories as well as to the women who make them and educate you about the issues that these women are overcoming.”
