There is no better way to express yourself than through your clothes. My graphic- T line Burkinabe Couture, “Express ta vie, Change des vies” is geared toward changing lives by allowing people to express themselves. My main motivation behind the concept is to give back, I was born in a small town in Burkina Faso, and the land is very arid there, so I plan on working with a company that funds agricultural projects in Burkina Faso, meaning a percentage of the money that is raised from the line will be channeled through this company to help the Burkinabe people, Self Help Africa started working with partners in Burkina Faso in 2008. At this time four small pilot projects are in progress. The four projects aim to benefit 1,342, families, 7,605 individuals in total. One of the reasons that I chose this company is because approximately 88 percent of the money donated goes to funding the projects. Reading through the website one of the headings that stood out to me the most was the fact that the company is offering the Burkinabe people a “hand up, not a hand out.” The best way to make change is to enable people to change their own circumstances. Burkinabe Couture is aimed at aiding that process.
