Mission & Activities
UNIQUE BY NATURE is a sustainable social enterprise established in 2013 which produces items for women in business life.
These products are hand made, high quality items such as real leather hand bags, clutches, wallets, tablet & phone covers, scarves... no two are the same. At this stage, we are selling through internet (www.uniquebnature.com) and are looking to expand our internal and external markets .
Our objective is to use this profit generating activities to empower women through supporting women entrepreneurship. Currently, we are keeping 10% of all the sales for creating this social impact side . We are still analysing what would be the method to allocate these funds which will generate the largest impact to empower these women. Our main idea might be to establish a microcredit fund (Funding for Women International) to support women seeking to become entrepreneurs, a grant system to provide seed capital and/or pre-fnancing of artisanal sales.
What we do, is to build a bridge between women producing, using and women who are just starting.
