- What is Project 1 Million about?
- Project 1 million is a project where we are on our way to impacting 1 million people living in poverty with fashion as a medium. Through a collaboration between Divineity Fashion Inc, a purpose-driven for-profit organization and Compassion Canada, a charitable organization vexed with the vision of ending poverty, we will reach people in various parts of the world from North America to Africa, From South America to Asia and Central America.
- What countries are these projects going to be carried out in?
- We have selected 7 countries in various continents to carry out our projects in Asia, Africa, South, Central and North America. These countries are Brazil, Kenya, Haiti, Nigeria, the Philippines, Mexico and Canada. We have thought about including Canada.
- Who chooses the projects that would be carried out?
- Our team will provide the community with the projects available in these seven countries and the projects will be carried out by our partner Compassion Canada. It would be the community’s responsibility to decide which project and in which country they would like to carry out the project. It will be completely community-led.
- Who chooses what country the projects will be carried out in?
- It is the community in each tier that decides what country they would like to go to carry out the projects. Our team only provides the required information to enable the community to make a befitting project decision.
- How are you going to measure the impact of Project 1 Million?
- Regularly, Compassion Canada will provide us with a project impact assessment report which will show us the progress of the project, including photos and how many people were impacted by the project. It will also include testimonials of the direct beneficiaries.
- How much money is going to be used toward charity projects?
- 50% of all purchases will be directed towards projects in the selected countries. Tax receipts will be issued for 50% of the price by Compassion Canada.
- How much of the money given to Compassion is used for administrative fees and how much goes to the benefitting community?
- Compassion Canada operates on an 80 – 20 system, meaning 20% or less goes towards administration and remains in Canada, while the remaining 80% or more goes towards the benefitting communities across the world.
- How are we helping with the financial education aspect to break the poverty line?
- Right now, we are partnering with Compassion Canada, the only way we can provide mentorship, guidance or financial education is when we are on the ground in the project location, which we intend to do sometime next year. However, going forward after the official launch, we will be expanding our charity partners and there might be opportunities to include financial literacy on our list. We are fully open to Suggestions.
- What else is Divineity Fashion Inc. doing other than giving compassion Canada money to do projects?
- Our team and our community will be directly involved in the project and country selection that will be carried out by Compassion Canada. We will also be participating in volunteering for writing letters to kids whose sponsors may not have time to write a letter to the kids. Our team and some community members will be visiting the project sites, we will be offering free mentorship and training programs for beneficiary communities onsite.
- Why are you using a tiered system approach?
