Shop with a Cause

Nest

fashion.jpgNest is a nonprofit dedicated to changing the lives of women in developing countries. It supports women artists and artisans in the developing world by providing micro-credit loans to be used for the purchase of the supplies and materials necessary to begin and/or maintain art- or craft-based businesses.
The funds for these loans are generated by selling a unique line of clothing, accessories and merchandise for the home produced exclusively for Nest. Recipients of Nest loans in developing countries also make their crafts available to Nest as repayment for the micro-credit loans.

  • I just came across your blog. I created a company in memory of my 28 year old sister that died from breast cancer that supports giving back through shopping. Uptown Liz (www.uptownliz.com) promotes products from companies whose proceeds directly give back to charitable organizations. Nest has their products on my website as well. Thank you for doing your part through your blog to promote making a difference for those who are less fortunate.
