The 41 Apron by No.41 {review & giveaway}

I first heard of No.41 about 18 months ago when I was searching for fair trade companies. When I came across them, I instantly fell in love with their products and their mission. No.41 started on a whim and a prayer in March 2012, with the intent of teaching young women from the Noel Orphanage in Gisenyi, Rwanda (ages 18-25) not only to sew, a culturally relevant trade that would always sustain them, but to give back to their community through a feeding program supporting local schools.

The first No.41 bag was sold in May 2012 and today they employ 20 women from the orphanage, as well as 10 from the surrounding village. They have 8 mamas better caring for their 12 children and 19 of their young women are now enrolled in university. In February 2013, No.41 opened their first feeding program, providing a hot, healthy lunch to 900+ students and teachers, daily.

No.41 is about empowering young women. Their goal is not to give them the world, but to show them that God has already given them everything they need to go out there and take it. When you join with them, you are truly changing the world FOR ONE.

Nothing better, huh? I just love finding amazing organizations like No.41. I have a Signature bag from No.41 and get so many compliments on it. It’s the perfect bag for a day out around town, a carry-on that will spark lots of conversation in the airport, or a bag to carry to church with your Bible and journal.

Recently, I found another fun package on my doorstep from No.41. It was The 41 Apron. Add some spunk to your meal prep with these sassy aprons handmade with love in Gisenyi, Rwanda. Your purchase not only provides a stable job and sustainable income to a young woman transitioning into a life of independence, you are also providing 68 school lunches to a secondary student! Wow, what an impact you can make by purchasing this apron. Remember, every time you throw on your apron and cook up a hardy meal or a sweet treat, you know that you provided just that to a student who wouldn’t have otherwise eaten. Isn’t it just too cute?

I’m so excited to be giving away one of The 41 Apron’s today! Who wants to win? This giveaway will run until 12:01am CST on Friday, April 24th. Winner will have 24 hours to respond to the email I send before a new winner is chosen. Here’s how you can enter:
