You will be able to receive ethical and supportive masks - You are offering a future to Burmese women!
YounSone by Fondacio, an offshoot of the YLDC, provides training and employment to disadvantaged young women in Myanmar. The idea is to create clothing and decorations made from Longyi (the traditional fabric worn as skirts by Burmese women). YounSone targets the local tourist market in Myanmar, but also exports the creations to Asia and Europe.
However, due to the global Covid-19 crisis, all stores closed in March 2020 and no sales have been possible since then. That is why we have chosen to launch this solidarity campaign. We need your support in this unprecedented global ordeal in order to continue to offer a future to young women in Myanmar. Your help will be invaluable in ensuring that our project will withstand this crisis. All donations are tax deductible (66% discount).
For a few days now, YounSone has been participating in the production of fair and solidarity masks in partnership with Trendethics.
You receive these masks in exchange for donations.

What will the money raised be used for?
With no regular sales since the COVID-19 crisis, each member of YounSone has agreed to reduce their salary while continuing to fully invest in the project in order to continue producing and training. Nevertheless, the entire team depends on donations to be able to go beyond June 2020.
Reaching the fundraising target of €4,000 will make it possible to continue paying the salaries of the entire team in 2020 and to effectively prepare for the return to normal by building up stock.
