Launched in spring 2005, EDUN's mission is to help build Africa as a viable source of production for fashion. Founded on the premise of trade for aid, EDUN is a for profit business that aims to raise awareness of the possibilities in Africa to encourage emulation. To help achieve this goal, EDUN is investing in the development of a community-based value chain, beginning with organic cotton. In 2007 the company launched EDUN LIVE, a blank tee shirt division that is 100% "grow to sew" African produced.
Invisible Children Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing financial resources to invisible children by documenting their true, untold stories in a creative and relevant way, resulting in positive change.
"Zazzle is always excited to work with notable organizations whose missions resonate with our core values, and both Edun Live and Invisible Children certainly fall into this category," commented Jeff Beaver, co-founder and chief product officer at Zazzle. "One of Zazzle's primary aims is to empower individuals, both our consumers and Sellers, in making a difference in people's lives. We look forward to engaging with more African entrepreneurs and charitable organizations and feel lucky to have the opportunity to contribute positively to their communities."
