Fashion that makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside


Fashion makes us feel good, feel confident, it gives us a sense of belonging, we're able to express ourselves with our style in a world where we're bombarded by different points of view every day. We all have an insatiable need to be heard, to make our point known even through our style alone.

What if we haven't found fashion that encompasses completely who we truly are? Fashion that says I want to look good and touch someone's life. Fashion that allows me to connect to someone I have never met in a place I've never even dreamt of. Fashion that keeps me updated on the difference I'm making. Fashion that goes beyond the artistic expression and beyond covering the nakedness underneath. Fashion that gives you meaning, connection, purpose. That feeling you get when you do something for someone who could never pay you back and it made a whole lot of difference in their life. This simple item that could be a basic item in your closet is now connecting fashionistas and T-shirt wearers all over the world to a special cause. 

For every purchase of this basic white tee you get connected to a girl in Africa who needs to stay in school but can't because they lack the resources. It could be school fees, sanitary towels, school uniform or simply a meal a day. When you buy from mdadaforgirls you will receive updates from the specific girl you have supported for a certain period of time. Could be a term if the item you're purchasing will keep them in school for a term. Basically, you get to see their world through their eyes. It's almost like adopting a girl, digitally at least :)!  That is the essence of the basic white tee by Mdada for Girls, a social enterprise working in Colorado, US and Nairobi, Kenya that is making the basic right to education just as basic as the white tee is in a girl's closet. I also love that the tees are eco-friendly. I have never come across a tee made from bamboo and organic cotton. How about that for fashion that makes you feel REALLY good inside and out?
