Host a Party in a Box!
 

Here at Sseko, one of our favorite ways to spread the Sseko love is through what we refer to as a Party In A Box. We love giving YOU the opportunity to be the face and voice of Sseko in your own communities and homes. We love to see people opening their homes (or apartment or dorms!) to spread the Sseko love to the people around them.

And if you place an order for a Party In A Box before August 8th, YOU will receive a free pair of Ssekos! 

Why host a Party in a Box?  

• We'll cover the shipping costs to get you your sandals. If any size exchanging needs to happen, we'll cover those shipping costs too. 
• You'll get to choose from exclusive patterns and colors you can't get online. 
• You'll need to order a minimum of 8 pairs of sandals to host a party in a box. If you purchase 15 or more pairs, you and your pals will receive 10% off your entire order.

Punjammies

   I want to introduce you all to an organization called International Princess Project. They are focused on freeing women from lives of slavery and exploitation in India. These women make Punjammies.

  

PUNJAMMIES™ are a premium brand of pajamas hand made by women who were formerly enslaved in prostitution.Crafted from beautiful Indian Sari fabric, PUNJAMMIES™ are perfect for sleeping or relaxing.

100% of the proceeds from PUNJAMMIES™ is used to support women who made them. 

   I am hoping that as you read the following and watch the video, that your heart will be filled with compassion for the thousands upon thousands of women and girls who are exploited around the world. Maybe you never realized how serious and how huge this problem really is.

 

   Instead of shutting our eyes to these kinds of world issues, we can help make a change; by allowing ourselves to recognize and see the suffering that happens in the world, and by being intentional in the choices we make. Choices that will help others have a second chance at life, a chance to be free.

 

The Story of PUNJAMMIES

 

Empowering each woman with an opportunity to learn a marketable skill and become a part of a viable business is the purpose of Punjammies. In providing for her basic need to support herself, she sees that she has value far beyond what the lies have told her. She begins to see her rightful place of value - a princess.

 

 

Each Punjammie is created in an after-care facility for women who have been rescued, released or escaped from a life of forced prostitution. Their lives have been marked by a message - you are a commodity - to be used for other's gain.

Whether sold by her own family, trafficked from another country or driven by desperation, she was a slave to this life. Each story is as unique as each girl.

When one manages to escaped from this life of horror, she has few options where to turn. Aside from the emotional and psychological trauma, women formerly working as prostitutes cannot easily enter schools, return to family systems or secure jobs to support themselves in India. A high quality after-care center is one of the best options a woman has at rebuilding her life.

Holistic aftercare involves quality medical care, emotional safety, education and the tools to create a new way of life for herself.

Empowering each woman with an opportunity to learn a marketable skill and become a part of a viable business is the purpose of Punjammies.

Every Punjammie purchase creates
A fair trade wage
Deposit into a savings account
Financial support for holistic care
Capacity building for more women to enter the after-care center

Every Punjammies tells the story of a girl who was once voiceless. You can be a part of re-building lives shattered by modern day slavery.

Wear Punjammies. Wear hope.
