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.
