Founder Mary Fanaro Gives the Scoop Behind the OmniPeace Brand

Fashion into compassion

We can defeat poverty by 2025! Join the movement!

OmniPeace was founded in July of 2005 by social entrepreneur Mary Fanaro. OmniPeace is a humanitarian fashion brand, donating 25% of all net profits to charities promoting peace, human rights, education and ending extreme poverty in Congo, Africa. For those of you who ask me what you can do to make a difference, purchasing an item with OmniPeace is a great route to go. Not only is the receiver getting an amazing product you are helping change lives around the world. I am excited to share with you all an interview with the founder herself Mary Fanaro.

1) Can you tell me a little about the new school? Where is it located? What type of classes are taught?

The school in Gumulira, Malawi broke ground on December 7th and was completed on March 15th. There are officially 1394 students enrolled in the school, 629 of whom are girls. There are officially 9 teachers and 8 grade levels in Gumulira. Prior to this school we also established the OmniPeace/Kitson Primary School in Longhor, Senegal which was completed in January/2009. We love sharing these stories as it shows that the fashion choices our customers make really do make a difference!
