IMPACT
Where is the clothing manufactured?
Our clothing is currently manufactured ethically in Colombia.
We selected Colombia due to its robust manufacturing industry, its proximity with the United States and its history of overcoming systemic violence. We believe Colombia’s turnaround and economic recovery can serve as a blueprint for the DRC.
What does Congo Clothing Company do for survivors?
We dedicate 10% of our bottom line to fund training programs to upskill survivors. Additionally, your purchse helps to provide each participant with a sewing machine. As we develop more capacity locally we plan to offer willing candidates a path towards being part of our supply chain and earn a living wage. Alternatively, we aim to fund select projects for those who are seeking more entrepreneurial careers. Learn more about our impact framework: the C³ Method.
What can I do to help survivors directly?
Spreading awareness of the issue always helps. You can also make a direct donation to the Panzi Foundation at https://panzifoundation.org/.
What is the meaning behind the logo?
Our logo represents the essence of what we stand for. Broken apart, its pieces each tell their own story. Our zigzag represents patterns from the Kuba culture of the DRC as well as tortuous journeys that led many Congolese women to the beds of Panzi Hospital. Our straight lines symbolize purpose and firmness of character in the midst of chaos. Resilience is the sum of its parts. We tell stories of women that are broken but not destroyed. Ultimately, Congo Clothing Company is about hope.
