Sseko Designs at POOL TRADESHOW - Humanitarian Brand that employ, educate and empower through fashion

[VNewz...]

 

Sseko Designs is a humanitarian brand that makes chic sandals, clutches and totes in Africa. The company started making sandals, but you see, these aren’t your average sandals. They start with one genuine leather base but offer a myriad of straps in different colors and patterns that can be tied hundreds of different ways and finished with accessories. The options are truly limitless, paralleling exactly what they’re trying to create for the women they are employing and educating in Africa. They recently expanded into beautiful clutches, accent totes and hobo bags, made of genuine leather, along a gorgeous scarf collection.

They hires recent secondary school graduates for this nine month period to live and work together, while earning money that will go directly towards their university education. These women will not make sandals forever. They will go on to be doctors, lawyers, politicians, writers and teachers that will bring change and unification to a country divided and ravished by a 22 year-long war.
