At Liz Alig we network with fair trade producer groups, who have the same goals, to make our clothing. We work closely with these groups to ensure sustainable business practices and provide sewing skills education when needed.  In addition to paying a fair wage, we also give 10% of the sales directly back to these organizations as a way to grow their own mission and improve the communities were they work.     

Our first partner in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, Mi Esperanza is an organization that seeks to empower women by giving them opportunity to make a sustainable income through the production of gifts and clothing.  Their mantra "helping women help themselves" is accomplished through skills training courses and micro-business loans.

Our upcycled t-shirt bags are sewn by women from the Friends X Change of Belle-Riviere, Haiti.  The Friends X Change is sponsored by Friends of Belle-Rivière, Inc., a tax-exempt public charity which is dedicated to improving quality-of-life and financial independence for the residents of Belle-Rivière, Haiti who live without the benefits of electricity or running water.

In Spring 2011, Liz Alig will be working with Global Mamas in Ghana who envisions women in Africa to be economically independent.  They do this by significantly increasing the revenues of women owned business in Ghana and throught Africa.
