The Love and Compassion Fashion line is very unique as it is one of the very first and few lines where 100% of proceeds from apparel sales will go straight TO THE CAUSE.
We rely on private donors, foundations, and sponsors to cover everything from apparel and accessories production costs to basic office systems costs. Our donors are some of the most dedicated. Their investment fuels our long-term mission, our ability to scale-up as an origanization, and to continue our mission of using public sales of Apparel to go straight to the People in the Favelas and to combat human trafficking.
The reason we are doing it this way is because we want the consumer to buy the apparel to raise awareness, and we want the consumer to feel like they are donating straight to the cause without compromise.
Our unique hang-tags explains about Passport 2 Freedom and our vision. We hope that many will be moved to give towards this cause.

We have partnered with some amazing organizations to use dance as a tool to shed some light on modern day slavery. To get involved, please check out our video and our custom made dance pants – to help raise finances to rescue victims of human trafficking.

most of the landfill workers spent their wages on the same day they received it. Since the landfill was closed 3 years ago, the families living in Gramacho have to fight to survive daily, because of the lack of education and job opportunities. To be able to change this community, the whole mindset in these slums needs to change. Yes, opportunities would help, and yes, we believe the government needs to take better responsibility of their residents, but the favela inhabitants also need to take control over their own destiny. We believe that when girls/women rise up and get access to education and are given assistance to find employment opportunities, the Favela communities will start to change, and that change will help shape and better the community for generations to come.
