Clothes to Give: Your Old Clothes Can Change the Lives of Others!

Senegal

A country in western Africa, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean. It became independent of France on April 4, 1960. It is one of the most politically stable countries in Africa. Nevertheless, it remains among the countries with the lowest level of social development. Almost half of the country’s area is farmland, but agriculture is becoming increasingly difficult due to frequent climate shocks. The highest temperature of 48.8 °C has been recorded in Matam.

Overview:
  • about 10% of the population lives below the international poverty line (less than $2.15 a day)
  • the labor force participation rate is around 50%
  • about 22% of the employed population works in agriculture
  • only about 61% of children complete primary education
  • the adult literacy rate (15+) is about 50%

The New Year is a time that is conducive to welcoming the new and leaving behind what no longer serves us.

In this spirit, we invite you to produce good together and make space for what really makes you happy. Literally!

Through Clothes to Give you can donate clothes that no longer serve you. Every kilo of clothing you donate supports those in need who are cared for daily by the Good Factory. The clothes you donate will support not only Darek in his crisis of homelessness, but also Momtaz, who on the other side of the world fights every day for a better future for her daughter. They will also help us to provide professional care for little Muhindo, who is bravely fighting a battle with cancer in Dem. Rep. of Congo.

It’s a simple gesture that costs nothing. All you have to do is pack up your unwanted clothes, order a courier through the Clothes to Give form and watch the kilos of clothes turn into money working for real good!

Urgent help for seniors

Let’s save Laudy and Jean from homelessness

Their entire life savings have been wiped out by the economic crisis. They haven’t been able to pay rent for nine months. If the landlord loses patience, they’ll end up on the street - with nowhere to turn. We don’t want them counting down the days until eviction!
