Charities We Support
I don't believe any child should go without shelter, food and basic medical care so I will start donating a portion of our sales to charities. Through your continued support our charity program has been able to expand significantly in the past few months.
Have a look below for details of what we have been able to achieve so far:

Peace is a 13 year old orphan of war displaced from the Congo into a refugee camp in Uganda.
She has AIDS and TB and needs our help.
My name is Peace Vumilia and I have AIDS and TB. I am 13 years old and came to the Kyangwali Refugee Camp as an orphan of war. I am Congolese, Batiringa (Pygmy) by tribe. I am living in Marembo Village.
"To find help is hard for these poor children, but we can pray to God to help and give us a way."- Amani Jean Damascene, Think Humanity Director
This little girl captured my heart and I thought at Ethical Living we can help. From the sale of items in the store we are donating funds towards Peace's ongoing care. We also accept donations and will send the full amount to Think Humanity (the organisation organising the care for Peace.)

The latest news:
11/1/15 - We have been keeping in touch and helping Peace for a few months now and the change in her is unbelievable. Peace is happily living with her sister Lydia (and extended family). During the Christmas period they were sent additional funds which they used to buy 50kg of potatoes and soap (pictured top right).
With your help we have also been able to contribute to Peace and Lydia's education. The girls will be re enrolled in school again this year. Thank you!

Familia Moja Children’s Home is helping shape the future of Kenya
At present Familia Moja Children's Home provides food and shelter for orphaned and vulnerable children but their vision is greater than that. They see these children growing into influential adults, who through the education provided by Familia Moja, will give back to their community of Mang’u and Kenya as a whole. Their aim is to work within the community to set up sustainable development projects which both support the orphanage and benefit the community.
Their Mission is to provide a safe and secure home for children within Kenya who have been orphaned by diseases such as AIDS, Malaria and Tuberculosis or who are vulnerable due to poverty. Provide children with: a nourishing diet, appropriate accommodation, clothing, access to healthcare and quality education, while ensuring that they receive the physical and emotional care required to become healthy, successful and fulfilled adults.
Familia Moja works together with the community to improve the lives of not only the children within its care but also the community as a whole. Their Vision is to empower the children and their community to achieve their goals and create possibilities for their future; be it educational or entrepreneurial.
Familia Moja is One Family and together we work towards a certain future.

Bed Nets Save Lives!
Donations so far: $425.78 (70 bed nets). THANK YOU!!!!
Malaria Prevention.
Think Humanity began giving out Long-Lasting Insecticide-Treated Bed Nets (LLIN) in 2007.The next donation will be to those refugees who have not received new nets for the past 5+ years.
As the need for these life-saving nets continues, we hope you can stand next to us on our malaria-fighting mission again this year.
This Christmas, we are asking for your help to replace 3,000 mosquito nets that were given to Congolese and Sudanese refugees six years ago. It is so important to continue to protect these families.
No other organization is replacing mosquito nets in Kyangwali Refugee Camp and the refugees’ hope is in Think Humanity. A young refugee girl once said to me, “The hope should be restored through Think Humanity, because it has put malaria in a mortuary about to be buried soon. Through providing nets, medication and comfort to those who are sick, now malaria will have nowhere to go.” We want to keep that hope alive.
Every day 350 children under the age of five die from malaria in Uganda. Let’s help to change that statistic.
Long-Lasting Insecticide-Treated Bed Nets (LLIN) will last up to five years and, according to the World Health Organization, they are the most cost-effective prevention method against malaria. Four children can fit under each bed net and the mother can be reassured that her children are protected as they sleep.
