How Shopping For Flowers Is Driving Employment And Education
I believe jobs are the answer to poverty. See how one company is making a difference.
We all have charities that are dear to our hearts. You know, the ones you give religiously to month after month. Well, I do as well, and I always appreciate learning about other organizations that help and support families in need and empower them to make a difference for their families.
Proflowers.com – an FTD company – has partnered with AllAcrossAfrica.org – a benefit corporation that brings the best of business practices through market development, training, and teaching to producers in Africa – to create a collection of exclusive handmade vases that are uniquely crafted by artisans in Rwanda. All Across Africa is a fair trade organization dedicated to empowering communities by providing employment and education – and ultimately hope.
