Check out the story of founder Mary Fanaro in the LA Examiner
When a marriage of fashion and compassion gives birth to effective action, the whole world takes notice. Humanitarian activist, Mary Fanaro, founded Los Angeles-based OmniPeace in 2005 with an overall mission to end extreme poverty in Africa by 2025.
A celebrated LA woman business leader, Fanaro created OmniPeace by combining her passion for fashion with social responsibility to create a conduit to giving through which businesses and consumers alike can journey. Through strategic partnerships with apparel companies and retailers, 25% of all profits made from sales of OmniPeace-branded products and clothing are donated to charities that promote peace, human rights, education and the eradication of extreme poverty in Africa.

Stamp Put Violence Against Women and Girls of the Congo
Please take a moment to watch this video and pass it along to everyone you know.
Our goal is no small feat. We need to get the attention of every technology company purchasing conflict minerals and urge them to stop funding the deadliest conflict in the world and ensure their profits are not being built on the blood of women and girls of the Congo.
Please watch the video and then go to our website and take one of the Congo pledges as a concerned consumer and citizen of humanity.
What takes a few minutes out of your day today can change the course of history tomorrow
