Change the world with your steps._

This campaign has been matched with a monetary donation via our brand partner Untouched World. Freedom starts at the basics. Everyone must be able to clothe and feed themselves in order to reach their full potential. Joyya is a charity that aims to see freedom prosper by supporting vulnerable communities stricken by poverty. Based in Kolkata, India, Joyya works with women who have been taken from their homes and forced into prostitution. By offering these women alternative employment, they are able to escape a life they never chose in the first place.👩 Untouched World’s Project U collection features a range of tees, created in partnership with Joyya. Every sale of a Project U tee helps to give these women the support they need to take the next step towards freedom. Click here to support Proj U: https://www.untouchedworld.com/collections/project-u By teaching them how to sew, these women are empowered with new skills and hope for a better future. They are given a chance to work in a supportive, dignified work environment and are paid around twice the going rate as similar jobs elsewhere. As part of their employment package, they are also given access to health insurance and a pension plan, helping to set them and their families up for a better quality of life.🧵
