Charity Driven Handmade Beachwear

Sandals made from discarded juice boxes, beach totes from used rice bags, and sarongs made in abject poverty are all among the beautiful pieces that this article will highlight. Aside from their unique designs, the best part about buying these products is consumers will be participating in the fight against hunger, human injustices, and a life of misery for many people.

There are many good causes out there that provide charitable resources. But by both selling products and accepting donations, the charity is able to complete two goals. The first is to provide fair and honest work for the artisans who create the items and the second is to use the proceeds to feed people. And that is what the TheHungerSite.com is about.

Take a look at these gorgeous beach items. There is a nice collection of sandals but the most interesting ones are the “Bazura Bag Sandals” made from old juice containers by a women’s cooperative in the Philippines. Not only do they look great but also they will last forever keeping the garbage out of landfill sites. Another uniquely created beach shoe is the “Whole Rebel Sandals” made from recycled tires providing work for war veterans of Ethiopia.

To add to your beach outfit, choose from a huge selection of totes including the “Recycled Rice Bag Tote”, magnificently designed with colourful fish, whales and dolphins. Meticulously crafted by women in Cambodia, the totes are durable since the rice bags originally held twenty-five pounds of rice. The pretty “Moroccan Palm Beach Totes” are made with palm fronds finished with leather handles.

And the lovely “Indigo Flutter Wrap” is perfect for wearing as a sundress or sarong when a day of sunbathing or swimming is finished. Designed by women in El Salvador, the pretty wrap is made from one hundred percent cotton and hand-dyed with indigo.

What a treat to look fabulous in luxury beachwear and help others at the same time!
