Change Purses for Change-Women for Women International

CABTeam's Shop Announcement

You have found the CABTeam (Carried Away Bag Makers Team). Our international team is 216 members strong and growing every day. We opened this team shop so that we could give back to those in need. All proceeds are given to charities voted on by our team members.
*********************************************************************************************
Our second team challenge was called "Change Purses for Change". Each team member who participated designed a change purse, wallet or pouch suitable for holding money. We are donating the proceeds from the change purse sales to Women for Women International. The change purses all have an image of the Women for Women logo in the listing.

Since it’s creation, Women for Women International has empowered over 153,000 women survivors of war to move toward economic self-sufficiency with our year-long program of direct aid, rights education, job skills training, and small business development. They have distributed $42 million in direct aid, microcredit loans, and other program services. Since 1993, Women for Women International has mobilized more than 125,000 women and men in 105 countries worldwide to reach out and support women survivors of war – one woman at a time.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to our first challenge Handbags for Heroes. We will continue to donate proceeds to this wonderful charity with every purchase of a handbag from this challenge. Those items all have an image of the Herobox.org "H".

HeroBox is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides custom support to our heroes overseas. Their mission is to provide items that deployed American soldiers need and want while they are away from home defending our freedom. A HeroBox is a care package that has been customized to a soldiers specific request. The troops have certain needs and wants depending on their sex, location, and a variety of other factors. The typical care package that a soldier receives isn't always influenced by those needs and wants. The goal is to make sure that each HeroBox is directly influenced by the soldier.

Have fun shopping. And, a big thank you for helping to support our charities.
