I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

www.solidarityclothing.org . We are a non-profit helping the poor in Bolivia by marketing their products in the US. Our products are 100% cotton polo shirts with embroidered logo for organizations, schools, businesses etc. By ordering from Solidarity Clothing you strengthen communities and break the cycle of poverty.We work with sewing cooperatives in the poorest neighborhoods of Cochabamba, Bolivia. We pay the workers four times more than the labor rate on the local market. This allows them to earn a living wage, get out of dire poverty and into economic sustainability.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone interested in fair trade and international solidarity.
