Online Luxury Clothes Site Gives to Indego Africa

So much of the Indego Africa experience is about connecting with people you actually know and, once you're involved with the project, having closer access to the people of Indego than you're likely have in most consumer or international aid experiences.

I got involved because I was a close friend of Matt and Ben, and I've become a committed supporter because I can feel in almost all of my efforts that I'm only two degrees removed from Indego's female partners in Rwanda. I've never even visited the continent of Africa, much less met Indego staff there, but we talk to the same people, we handle the exact same products, and I think we're all drawn to the paradoxically close international experience that is Indego Africa.

And as Chair of the San Francisco Regional Board (give me a shout-out if you're in the Bay!), I've seen how personal relationships carry us forward, and can do a lot to contribute to the growth and well-being of good people who live far, far away.

Case in point: SF regional board member James WIlliams introduced us to his friends Anna and Mike at luxury clothing site Muito Fina. The site sells the type of chic, only in-season and on-point fashions that leave fans on their facebook page hyperventilating in the comments of each post.

Muito Fina also makes a point of sponsoring a worthy case every month, and for the month of April, it has been Indego Africa. They're donating 5% of their April sales to Indego Africa.

So if you're looking to do some shopping, and you want to continue to support Indego, you can't go wrong by just clicking over to MuitoFina.com!
