Pay it Forward
A portion of all proceeds will go to Mon Coeur, a local non-profit that aims to create equal access to quality education and inspiration for people with less fortune in life. Utilizing the positive circle concept, Mon Coeur designs gift ideas that can be produced by local communities, creating job opportunities and purpose. These gifts are then sold in Europe, and income is reinvested back into educational initiatives in Africa.
In South Africa, Mon Coeur has also created an "Inspiration Hub", an after-school facility where children are taught life skills through projects and thematic workshops. The purpose of the Hub was to keep children out of abusive homes and violence, and has grown into an inspiring group where children get a long-term vision of how to be positive role models in their communities.
Since it's founding in 2018, Mon Coeur has achieved the below:
9330 children sent to kindergarten
960 children sent to primary school
561 children sent to high school
