Figs Ties. Helping send kids to school

Figs Ties | Helping Kids Go to School – $70 – $135

Every time someone buys a Figs Tie, their Threads for Threads program purchases a school uniform so a child in Kenya or Tanzania can go to school.

$70 for any old necktie is a lot, but after finding this out… Figs ties seem like an incredible deal.  From their site:

In many parts of Africa a child may not attend school without a proper uniform.  This is due to the strict rules about pride in appearance within most cultures.  Unfortunately many areas are stricken with poverty and so countless children do not have uniforms, resulting in lack of education quickly becoming a widespread epidemic.

The Henri Tie in Grey

Think of it this way.  You’re not buying a tie.  You’re buying a young person in Africa a school uniform they’d buy for themselves in a second, only if they had the resources.  These kids want to go to school.  They want to learn.  And you can help them do that.

You just happen to get a sweet necktie in return.  Here’s some suggestions:

Any one of those would make a perfect gift for the socially conscious man.  And maybe that man is you.
