in love!

here are the women of Sseko Sandals ...







arn't they just lovely? i miss waking up to beautiful smiles like theses.. 

so who is Sseko ? 
(all the same shoe, 6 different ways to tie.. so fun!) 
      


Sseko \say-ko\ Designs was created to help these bright young women continue their education. The Ugandan school system is designed with a nine month gap between secondary school and university. These nine months are intended to allow time for students to earn money for tuition before continuing on to university. However, in an impoverished and male dominated society, many of these young women struggle to find fair work during this time.
Sseko Designs hires recent secondary school graduates for this nine month period to live and work together, while earning money that will go directly towards their university education. These women will not make sandals forever. They will go on to be doctors, lawyers, politicians, writers and teachers that will bring change and unification to a country divided and ravished by a 22 year-long war.
Every sandal has a story. 



why women? 




lets go shopping girls*!! : )
