FASHION FOR HUMANITY
Dear Amazing Supporters,
We are amazed and humbled by all that we have accomplished together this year. Thanks to your support, we provided school supplies to 79 school children in Senegal, Tanzania, Nigeria and support Relief Efforts in Togo to help girls facing exploitative and hazardous child labor to gain access to education.
We helped pay for a whole year’s worth of food and electricity and we renovated a whole classroom with 49 children in it. The list goes on…
We are extremely thankful for all the progress we made and achieved together.
As we gratefully acknowledge your kind support, we are filled with such a great sense of expectation for the New Year to come. We are convinced that we can together do even greater things this year. Our upcoming events will offer a great platform and opportunity for us to touch many more lives, and we are counting on your full support.
We are so grateful for you and can’t thank you enough once again for everything you’ve done for us. Knowing we have your support and dedication makes us a better organization both here in the U.S and in Africa.
This year’s fashion show shall be EPIC!

We do this by strengthening families, building community resiliency, and creating sustainable social enterprises in Guatemala, Honduras, and Kenya.
AFRICAID
In 2001, 16-year-old Ashley Shuyler founded AfricAid, following a life-changing trip to Tanzania five years earlier.
During that trip, she met many children her age who did not have the opportunity to go to school. She learned that girls, in particular, face significant challenges in trying to obtain an education.
Realizing that this leads to a cycle of poverty – and recognizing just how powerful girls’ education can be in changing the futures of individuals and communities – she established AfricAid to help transform the landscape of opportunity for young women in Tanzania.

There is no possible excuse for children to go hungry in this country. Yet it happens – every day, in every community.
According to the latest estimates, as many as 9 million children in the United States live in “food insecure” homes.
That phrase may sound mild, but it means that those households don’t have enough food for every family member to lead a healthy life.
The number of children living with hunger had fallen steadily over the past decade, but the coronavirus pandemic dealt a terrible blow to our progress as a nation – one that Crafrik Clothing Company and other organizations will work to reverse during the long recovery ahead.
Poverty and Childhood Hunger As you might imagine, hunger is a problem that most often affects children from low-income families.
A common way we measure poverty is the federal poverty level, a number set by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The federal poverty level is the minimum amount of money a family needs each year to afford the necessities of life: food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.
In 2021, the federal poverty level was $26,500 for a family of four. Of course, this number is a minimum.
Families making twice that much are still considered low-income by most experts, and many struggle to make ends meet.
How many Americans live in poverty? 37 million, or 11.4% of all Americans, according to 2020 data from the U.S. Census Bureau. 12 million of those were children.
This number, though shockingly high for a country of such enormous wealth, had fallen in recent years, but the coronavirus pandemic put a huge burden on already-struggling families, and the impact of that is not yet fully known.
For a more comprehensive understanding of food insecurity, we recommend the USDA’s annual report on Household Food Security in the United States.
School Breakfast
Making breakfast part of the regular school day, just like lunch, has a powerful effect on kids.
That’s why we work with educators, political leaders and local nonprofits across our community to change the way schools serve breakfast.
Schools are at the center of our communities and our kids’ lives. Parents know and trust the people who work at their neighborhood schools, and schools have the facilities and staff needed to feed kids school meals every day.
That’s why school meal and snacks programs are at the heart of Crafrik Clothing Company’s work. Giving back is at the core of why CRAFRIK CLOTHING COMPANY exists.
Our mission is to impact our community in a significant way.
