What is Project Migration?

Project Migration Inc. is a social enterprise organization that produces fashion items to support charitable efforts. For each Project Migration fashion product sold, years* of clean water along with life-saving medical supplies will be donated. *[three full years per handbag, two years per shirt, and one year per bracelet]

Our Mission: To help alleviate pain for those living in extreme poverty, by providing clean water and life-saving medical supplies.

In addition, we host “Migration Vacations” which provide a special opportunity to personally hand-deliver medical supplies (supported by the sale of Project Migration products), and educate locals on their use, while traveling to multiple locations to visit medical clinics. We will be bringing volunteer doctors who will help single mothers who are pregnant, giving birth or sick.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,
committed people can change the world.
Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
-Margaret Mead
