Since 2017, Women for Women International has been delighted to partner with female-founded fashion brand, ESCADA. To celebrate the appointment of musician Rita Ora as ESCADA’s new brand ambassador, and to continue our fantastic partnership, ESCADA and Rita Ora created a special edition of Escada’s Heart bag. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each bag will be donated to our work helping women survivors of war rebuild their lives. Originally from Kosovo, Rita explains, “I am so delighted that we are partnering with Women for Women International. Their work in helping women in conflict zones become economically empowered is so important,” she says. “The best thing about the Heart Bag is the message behind it. That you can be who you want to be, challenge the rules and feel strong and confident doing so.”

Since 2014, Sustainable Harvest and Women for Women International, with support from Bloomberg Philanthropies and the Government of Rwanda, have improved the livelihoods of 3,500 Women for Women International participants. These women farmers will grow more from their small plots of land, have access to international buyers, reduce their exposure to financial commodity risk, and improve the environmental sustainability of their communities.
