With every VISIONARIES OF TOMORROW product purchased, we donate 5 warm meals to the children of the “Hope Menorah School Nakuru” in Kenya, which is run by the wonderful non-profit organization “Help for Hope eV”. For example, a child receives a warm meal for a whole school week (5 days).

“Many children reported on Monday that they last ate at school on Friday.
That's why all children have the chance to have a hot meal at school on Saturdays. The school also stays open during the holidays to ensure that the children have regular meals." - www.helpforhope-ev.org

Q&A
Organic cotton is made from cotton plants that are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers or genetically modified organisms. It is grown according to organic farming standards.
Organic cotton is grown and processed in a more environmentally friendly way. It avoids harmful chemicals and relies on sustainable farming methods that protect the soil, water resources and the health of workers.
Organic cotton is free from toxic chemicals that can cause skin irritation and allergies, making it particularly suitable for people with sensitive skin and allergies.
- Hypoallergenic : Organic cotton is grown and processed without the use of harmful chemicals. This reduces the risk of skin irritation and allergic reactions, making it particularly suitable for people with sensitive skin or skin problems such as eczema.
- Softer and more comfortable to wear: The fibers of organic cotton are generally softer and feel more pleasant on the skin. This increases comfort and makes organic cotton clothing a preferred choice for people who value a pleasant feeling on the skin.
- Breathability : Organic cotton is highly breathable and helps wick moisture away from the skin, keeping your skin feeling fresh and dry, even in warm weather or during physical activity.
- Free from harmful substances : No toxic chemicals such as pesticides or synthetic fertilizers are used in the production of organic cotton. This means that organic cotton clothing is free from residues of such substances that could irritate or harm the skin.
- Natural temperature regulation: Organic cotton has the ability to regulate body temperature by storing heat in winter and cooling in summer. This ensures a pleasant skin climate in every season.
Growing organic cotton reduces pollution, improves soil quality, promotes biodiversity and reduces water consumption. Crop rotation and mixed cropping are also often used to promote soil health.
- Production costs : Growing organic cotton requires strict guidelines and standards, which incurs more costs. Organic farmers do not use chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, but rely on biological methods for pest control and soil improvement. These methods are more labor-intensive and much more expensive.
- Lower yields for organic cotton : Organic cotton often has a lower yield per hectare compared to conventional cotton, as organic farming methods are less intensive and do not use high-performance fertilizers and pesticides. This means that the cotton plants produced are not as large and large as those grown with conventional cotton.
- Certification costs : To obtain the organic label, farmers must have their products certified, which incurs additional costs.
- Fair working conditions : In addition to the organic cotton, the products are GOTS certified, meaning everyone in the entire supply chain is paid fairly & works under fair conditions. ♥️
