WorldWomenWork promotes education & empowerment for women and wildlife conservation

WorldWomenWork partners with women artisans and activists in some of the most remote parts of the world. We purchase beautiful products from small, women-owned enterprises and sell these unique things to women all over the United States. We provide a steady stream of income to grow the enterprise, and the proceeds from the sales support women in Kenya, Nepal, Indonesia and 11 other countries. Our way of funding our efforts is unique and effective; nearly 100% of the proceeds supports projects that are educating girls, building economic independence for women, and protecting the natural world.

New Collaboration with Kathryn Schumacher Designs

Kathryn Schumacher Designs grew out of Kathryn's twenty-three years as an Interior Designer with projects in California, New Mexico, New York, Washington, Florida and Illinois.  She loves color, textiles, patterns, artistic detail and travel, all of which provide inspiration for her decorative pillow collections.

Kathryn Schumacher, a designer of one-of-a-kind decorative pillows, www.kathrynschumacher.com, has been friends with Singer for over 15 years and jumped at the recent opportunity to travel with Singer to her beloved Africa.  As a result of this trip Kathryn was inspired to create a selection of beautiful African oriented pillows exclusively for WorldWomenWork.  We are thrilled with this wonderful collaboration and delighted that we can participate in the debut of Kathryn's stunning new Africa collection.
