The Ubuntu Project

Cause

For every shirt you buy, we fund a bed net.

By the time you are done reading this paragraph, a child in Africa will have died from Malaria. According to UNICEF, Malaria is the third largest killer of children in the world. It is a serious and sometimes fatal disease caused by a parasite that feeds on humans. People who contract malaria are typically sick with high fevers, shaking chills, and flu-like illness (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). With the right measures, this disease can be cured and prevented, yet 2,000 children still lose their lives to malaria every day.

To tackle this pressing issue, The Ubuntu Project will fund the most effective method in preventing Malaria - bed nets - through The Against Malaria Foundation. Each bed net will be distributed to people in Africa most susceptible to the disease.

For every shirt you buy, we fund a bed net. Not only can your purchase save a life, but it can improve the overall economy of Africa as well. Decreased levels of illness and death result in a reduced burden on health systems and increased productivity in the workforce to generate a wealthier nation (The Against Malaria Foundation). So, we mean it when we say: every purchase you make, makes a difference. The Ubuntu Project (@theubuntuproj) • Instagram

Knowing what you want and why you want it; in complete control   ARAYA NYC Style Studio offers several luxury lines of wigs, which our team refer to as CROWNS. Creative Director Hadiiya Barbel believes the word “wig” has a stigma, which may evoke a feeling of shame by women who need or desire to wear them. Instead she insist they be called CROWNS; the adorning accessory worn by Queens, which symbolize their power!
