I just wanted to let you know that I'm now donating 10% of my profits to charity again! What prompted me to do this was when I went to this awesome African Charity Shop at the W12 Centre in Shepherd's Bush, called Mama Biashara. The volunteer staff are really friendly and passionate about what they do.
I got these heart earrings from there, and they are beautiful, and more suited to my style too- win-win!
I love the fact that there are awesome independent places like this that help small businesses, especially in Africa, where it isn't as easy to start up one like it is over here, from past experience. 100% of profits made from their lovely shop goes straight to those creative designer/makers, and helps them to keep a roof over their heads!
I've been really picky with giving money to charity in the past, because I don't know how much of my money actually does go to those in need, or even makes that much of a difference, so I've been keen on finding a small charity that makes a huge difference, because it makes me happy that my money helps out individuals in need too.
If anyone is ever in Shepherd's Bush, please come down and have a look at this shop; everyone is bound to find one thing in there. I've even bought a bunch of headscarves from there too. :)
A purchase from Handmade by Ify will also benefit this Charity!
