I’ve wanted to write something about the situation going on in Haiti. Up until now, I didn’t know what angle to take. I wanted to suggest good organizations to donate to, and which organizations might not be as productive as others, but during my research I found that there are several opposing opinions of most charity organizations. I didn’t want to add any confusion to the act of donation. So, I didn’t write anything. That being said I thought it might be positive to provide an organization and brand that you may not be aware of.

Recently, I was contacted by Anthony Thompson the creator of  GesuChristo Clothing. The idea behind GesuChristo Clothing is “One shirt, One Cause”. Their shirt is pictured above. Their cause is the earthquake disaster in Haiti. In particular, the In Touch Orphanage in St. Marc, Haiti. Anthony assured me that all profits from this offer will be donated to the In Touch Orphanage. To donate and order a tee shirt click here.

Keep GesuChristo on your radar this is not their first or last project. Their launch in 2008 focused on Kampala, Uganda and the “Never Again Project”. The founder of the orphanage began the “Never Again Project” after observing small children eating from garbage bins. He vowed they would “Never Again” eat from the city garbage. Through their first campaign GesuChristo Clothing was able to to feed nearly 50 young adults for 6 months.

  5. great cause- great buy…it’s reassuring to see a company use %100 proceeds to help- NO ULTERIOR motives.
