Shop with Purpose

It's shopping season!

The holidays are quickly approaching and the remaining shopping days are dwindling! While you’re working on your shopping list, consider checking out the great shops we have listed here! Have someone hard to buy for on your list? These shops all feature beautiful, unique designs that help make a positive impact in our world and are sure to please the recipient!

You can find great gift items while TRULY making a difference in the lives of Congolese people! Each purchase from one of these organizations or shops directly benefits people in need in DRC, or helps to support families adopting from DRC with their ongoing expenses.


Don't forget- we are also currently in the process of our fundraiser for Congo Family Restoration, which ends November 28th! Buy a shirt in honor of Adoption Awareness Month to show your heart for adoption or for Congo. All proceeds benefit unadopted orphans in DRC-read our previous post for more details. Shirts are available in long sleeves, short sleeves, children's sizes, ladies' slim fit, and hooded sweatshirts. Help us get closer to our goal!
