Project Description

     Lola's African Apparel is a social enterprise that employs independent seamstresses and tailors in Nigeria to create Authentic African Clothes which we sell worldwide. Nigeria is a relatively impoverished county with the average citizen having virtually no control or say in politics and the general economy. Women and children are particular victims of poverty and lack of opportunities. By making our clothes in Nigeria, we are not only maintaining the authenticity of African clothes, but  we also provide high volume orders to entrepreneurs in the local villages in which we work. This has had huge economic benfits to the seamstresses and tailors we work with and their communities. 

    With the funding we will receive, we are going to expand out online and print marketing, which will increase sales and in-turn allow us to employ more people. We will also expand our inventory offered in store and online, to offer more options to our clients. This will also allow us to stay in trend with the African apparel and accessories market.

Thank you for your consideration!
