april 10%: one by one

We are pleased to share with our supporters and customers that we have chosen to highlight and give 10% of our April sales to a local Seattle non-profit organization called One by One.

Who and what is One by One?
Our Mission
One By One contributes to the elimination of obstetric fistula worldwide by engaging the public and providing financial support to those who treat and prevent fistula in the developing world.

Our Vision
Inspire people. Empower solutions. End fistula.

Our Philosophy
Many of us respond to the suffering of others around the world with sadness, guilt and shame. Stories of the sick and the dying leave us disempowered and wondering how any one person can make any significant difference.
At One By One, we believe that small is not insignificant. We believe that it is possible to address global public health issues like obstetric fistula from the “bottom up” to meet the “top-down” work of multilateral agencies. We harness the “smaller” and otherwise disparate energies of those who want to help but don’t know how. We empower regular people to conceive of and implement concrete solutions to manageable pieces of the “fistula problem”.
In addition to raising public awareness of fistula and encouraging widespread participation, One By One believes that our resources are best used to address the unmet needs of fistula treatment and prevention programs in the developing world. To this end, we make direct grants to support fistula treatment and prevention in Africa and beyond.
