Social Mission

Together we can make the difference that we want to see in the world!

Through our partnership with Lorena Canals every sale helps to a life-changing project, The Sakula Project! Aligned with our values, with the same energy and intensity the designer Lorena Canals puts into creating her collections, she works personally to give children a better future through access to education. With more than 280 million people unable to read and write, India is the country with the greatest illiteracy rate in the world.

Access to education continues to be the greatest barrier to the region’s economic and cultural development. Children are the most affected by poverty and social inequality and most of them leave school before they reach 15, thereby losing the chance to access the labour market.

 

 

SAKÛLA PROJECT UNCOVERED Stemming from her concern, the Lorena Canals Sakûla Project began in 2008 with the construction of a nursery in Haryana, in the north of India, enabling boys and girls found in the street, lacking any manner of protection or security, to have a place to spend the day, receive a daily meal, be cared for and receive an education to help them secure a better future.

 

Today there are 120 boys and girls attending the nursery, and work goes on to enable more children to attend year after year. “There is ongoing contact with the nursery to obtain daily updates, progress reports, new needs…” “The commitment means being there whether needed or not! Initiatives of this kind give any business a wider sense of purpose.”
