Freedom Clothing Project: Dressing for a better world

With the economic situation worsening in Palestine every passing day, and unemployment increasing like never before, one can’t but feel this urge to help Palestinians, offer them employment opportunities, and revive their name in a world that has almost forgotten their existence.

Finally, the dream is coming true, now for the first time ever: t-shirts with a ‘Made in the West Bank and Gaza’ label will be available for purchase.
All the thanks to the Freedom Clothing Project, a not-for-profit co-operative working with suppliers in Beit Jala in the occupied West Bank.
The aim of the project is to bring work to some of the estimated 500 clothing manufacturers in the area and to assist them find new markets for their products.

Freedom Clothing Project uses organic cotton, and provides healthy & environment-friendly working conditions.
But that’s not all: for every item purchased from Freedom Clothing Project, they will donate a minimum of 10 percent of the money they make to a “charity pot.”

I’m so thrilled!

    Joe Turner,
    I truly appreciate you leaving me a comment, but believe me, all the thanks should go only to you. You’ve went where no one else dared go, and you’ve had the courage no one else had to make a dream come true… I truly wish you the best of luck and more & more success to come your way.

    Amelopsis, you’re one big supporter of a justice! Thanks for that!
    Yeah I know, when you hear nothing but war, crimes and all, you can’t but be amazed and extremely thrilled when you hear of something as special, and great as Freedom Clothing Project 🙂

    Well y’know – I had the opportunity and did what I could. It isn’t going to solve all the problems, but it is the best I can do.

    Joe Turner, I’m speechless, thanks a million for sharing me this. I took the liberty of publishing them online, I believe more explosure is needed, and people need to play a role in supporting your project. If you wish me to take the designs away, please let me know.

    Omar, thanks my dear friend for letting me know about this article, it’s interesting indeed and worth reading. Happy Eid to you and your family by the way

    Eman – I’d appreciate it if you’d just make it clear that Basel retains copyright, so if any of you guys want the designs for anything else you need to talk to him about it 😉

    Thanks Joe, hope I made it as clear as possible 🙂

    UmKhalil, dear, sorry didn’t notice your comment earlier, it’s really great that you have written about the project as well. Many thanks to you.
    They need as much explosure as possible 🙂

    Can I just say what a comfort to uncover an individual who really knows what
    they’re discussing on the net. You definitely realize how
    to bring a problem to light and make it important.

    A lot more people really need to look at this and understand this side of your story.
    I can’t believe you’re not more popular given that you definitely have
    the gift.
