COMMUNITY
The Invest in Dignity® Foundation is a foward- thinking non-profit company that empowers hundreds of families in South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal province to earn sustainable livelihoods through the circular economy.
Women are remunerated to collect, sort and grade clean waste for recycling into various products including drawstring refuse bags, enabling them to feed, clothe and educate their families in the process. Others are being upskilled in the sewing of reusable shopper bags made out of recycled PET.
To date, the Invest in Dignity® Foundation has made a sizable impact in creating an enabling environment for women from disadvantaged backgrounds to earn a dignified living as self-employed “green entrepreneurs”. Many have also been empowered to form their own micro-enterprises in the recycling economy, paying it forward by employing others.
Creating a meaningful impact begins with intentional choices. Through our partnerships with leading social and environmental foundations, we’re dedicated toempowering South African communities while producing sustainable products.
By collaborating with these organizations, we’re able to provide opportunities for women entrepreneurs, support feeding schemes, and contribute to a healthier planet. Every product you choose supports these initiatives, helping us all move towards a future where communities thrive and the environment is protected. Join us in making a real, lasting difference.
