Give India!

Soft is excited about our manufacturing partnerships with India. We have a close, personal relationship with our factory representatives there, and they are so supportive and understanding of our mission. Our primary contact flew all the way to NY to make sure he understood our unique needs--and has been working hard to rethink and remake they way basic clothing is made to fit our inclusive model.

We wanted to give back in a way that compliments our beliefs about inclusive education. Today Soft started a new initiative, that we will continue thorughout the first year of our launch, and then expand along with our growth. In addition to funding disability organizations here in the US, Soft has started to support children with disabilities in India through a variety of local organizations thorugh Give India. Our first donation funded an art therapy program for a non-verbal child for three months! Check back here for regular updates on the specific programs, children and organizations we are helping to fund. We expect to have photos and a full report of this first funded project within the next three months. If you would like to suggest projects for us to fund, please visit Give India, and make suggestions in the comments section below.
