Projects

Marcela and Tatiana manage the non-profit organization VISAJES in Bogota which focuses on the empowerment of young women in Colombia.

This organisation is composed of socially engaged women who wish to contribute to making a positive change to their society. In order to achieve their goals, they produce sustainable accessories from recycled materials.

These products are created by young women who thereby express their creativity. The proceeds are used to finance workshops on the philosophy of non-violence.

This project supports indigenous women from the north (Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta) to the south (Alto Putumayo) of Colombia.

For these communities, handcrafting is a sacred, spiritual practice—one that nurtures both heart and mind. The handwoven mochilas by Ana and Martina (Arhuaco) are created to protect, nourish, and restore balance—infused with strong feminine energy.

The vibrant beadwork by Marcela, Jaquelina, and Adriana (Kamentsa and Siona) is inspired by ancestral ceremonies and intended to bring light and joy into everyday life.

While working in Yemen, our founder became aware of a women’s cooperative which produced meticulously embroidered shoulder bags. These women live in a highly conservative society with limited opportunities to market their goods beyond their local community.

FEMONDIAL commissioned many of these unique hand-made items to add to its shop wares in order to assist these women with an additional market for their creations.

Flora, a young, committed Tanzanian woman, founded the charitable foundation AFLII in 2017. Her aim is to support Tanzanian women from socially disadvantaged backgrounds to become more independent and self-determined and to give them better prospects for the future. The diverse product range from Tanzania includes travel bags, waist bags, fans and slippers.

Zitah Khay is a social fashion label that supports young women in East Africa. Many of them have very few opportunities in life. We want to change that. With our collaboration, they have a secure job, and the chance to earn their own income. This helps them become independent and strong. Together with local craftswomen, they create clothing that celebrates East African culture. We work with people who believe that fashion should not only be beautiful, but also fair and sustainable. Our goal: to empower women – through fashion that creates a better future.

Our co-founder Sabell became aware of an extraordinary business in Slovenia in 2022. Through the production and distribution of unique, handmade wooden artworks, the artist Dejan has made it his mission to support women in difficult social situations. These women are single mothers and pensioners who rely on flexible working hours. With the purchase and resale of his artworks by the association, we support Dejan in his ambition to give women in difficult life situations a job.
