Proud to Support: Amani Ya Juu

Another vendor at the St. Louis Fair Trade Event is Amani ya Juu 

Amani is a sewing and reconciliation project for marginalized women in Africa. Be sure to visit their site to learn more about the women, their mission and the products they make.

Also be sure to tune in to PBS tonight and tomorrow to see the documentary, Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide

From Amani's blog

This documentary, based on the best selling book by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, tells the stories of women around the world who experience and challenge oppression. It honestly discusses the injustices faced by so many women: discrimination, unequal access to education, abuse, and sale into the sex trade, among other issues. While it tells heavy stories, “Half the Sky” gives a hopeful picture of the courageous individuals confronting systems of oppression and working to create a world in which women can flourish.
