Have you ever felt like your heart was too big? You have trouble with non-profit organizations because you want to donate to all of them, but don’t have the funds. Or, your heart won’t allow you to pick just one cause to support fully because all of them deserve your attention. If you’re agreeing with all these statements, you’re on the same track Gaston Javurek and Kelli Dunavant were on when they created the business model for their company, No One Without.
Knowing that they couldn’t easily commit to one specific cause, they set out to find a way to help more people and more causes. Clothing was an easy option because everyone wears clothes–so they set out to pounce on the fashion industry with a new way of doing business.
No One Without is a For-Purpose fashion brand supporting non-profit partners through consumerism. No One Without empowers its customers to be advocates for change by letting them choose an organization from a list that most moves them. In turn, No One Without gives 20% of its proceeds to their chosen organization.
There are a total of 5 amazing organizations on the No One Without roster that consumers can choose from. They are listed below:
1. More Than Me Foundation: The mission of More Than Me is to get girls off the streets and into schools in Liberia, West Africa. The price to get girls into school for one year is merely 250 US dollars.
2. The Chisomo Idea: The Chisomo idea is based in Malawi. They create after school programs, sports clinics, and leadership development seminars. No One Without supports the Scholar Athlete Program which provides high school education and structured soccer teams promoting leadership.
3. Thirst Relief Project: Thirst Relief Project is a water development organization working to improve access to safe water in nine countries worldwide. By providing infrastructure development, training, water filtration systems, financial resources and technical resources, they are helping thousands of people improve their health.
4. Giving Children Hope: Knowing the importance of starting local, No One Without chose Giving Children Hope’s Southern California program called We’ve Got Your Back. They provide backpacks full of food for school district children that are considered homeless. These backpacks are given every Friday with enough food for a family of 4.
5. These Numbers Have Faces: These Numbers Have Faces provides college scholarships to students in South Africa. No One Without supports a student named Xolani Gixela and just recently funded his safe transportation to and from school for the full school year.
In their own words: Our acronym is N.O.W and N.O.W. is the time to change your world so that we can together, change our world. Many of us spend time saying things like “I’ll do that tomorrow” “I don’t have time” “Where did the time go?”. Here at No One Without, we have realized that the time is N.O.W to work harder, to love more, to give more, to do more, and to empower our customers to do the same. Let’s not wait until tomorrow to do what we can today!
