Shop to support female entrepreneurs

www.globalgirlfriend.com is a pretty smiley business all around. First, its products are fairly traded and environmentally responsible. Second, they're also pretty reasonably priced. Third, 5-30% of each purchase goes toward Camfed's micro-grant program, which gives women in sub-Saharan Africa the opportunity to start their own businesses. Fourth (well, this one is dubious), a package labeled 'Global Girlfriend' arriving on your doorstep will make everyone think you've sent away for a very tiny mail-order bride. Well, three out of four ain't bad.


Effort involved: looking at pretty things, buying pretty things, enjoying pretty things. An easy three-step process.
