Quick answer: During our Kenya Campaign, 10% of every sale was donated directly to a local orphanage, with no middlemen and no fine print. That money went toward helping the kids there complete their school semester... and we got to watch it happen.
Giving back isn't a marketing checkbox for us. It's something we build into the campaigns themselves, and this one is a good example of what that actually looks like in practice.
What the Kenya Campaign was
For a limited window, every purchase made during the campaign automatically set aside 10% of its value for donation. No opt-in required, no separate checkout step. It was baked into the price from the start. Customers didn't have to do anything extra to make an impact; buying the product was the impact.
Where the money went
The full amount raised was sent to an orphanage in Kenya. The funds were earmarked specifically for education costs, covering what the kids needed to complete their current school semester without interruption.
Watching it become real
Numbers on a screen are one thing. Watching them turn into something real is another. We jumped on a video call to see it happen, kids who'd otherwise have faced a gap in their schooling now had what they needed to keep going. That's the moment a campaign stops being an abstraction and becomes proof that it worked.
Why we do this
We make hemp products because we believe in building things that last and cost the planet less. But sustainability isn't only about materials, it's also about where the money goes once the sale is made. Campaigns like this one are how we try to close that loop.
