Kris&Kate: 10% goes to women in need

As I mentioned in my first post, Christi and her business partner Kathy started an online women's clothing store that gives 10% of every purchase to organizations such as World Vision to help women in other countries begin, develop, and sustain their own businesses.  Kris&Kate, with the support of customers, has helped a total of 6 women, 14 children, and created 3 new jobs through World Vision's Micro program.  In only the short months the company has been underway, lives are already being transformed for the better.  Check out some of the women who have been empowered so far...

Luningning Gonzales is from the Philippines where she owns a store in order to tend to her 4 children's financial needs.  With the help of Kris&Kate customers she has been able to expand her business and add more products such as canned food and coffee.  

Eugenie Nyiraneza is a small business owner from Rwanda.  With the help from the Micro Loan she will be able to expand her store by buying more products and hiring employees.  Her goals are to continue providing for her family and improving their living conditions to create a better life.

Salvacion Ceniza is from the Philippines where she owns a store in order to increase her income and provide for her family.  Through the help of the Micro Loan she was able to expand her business and therefore bring in more merchandise to sell to customers.

Ester Comaingking is a small business owner also from the Philippines.  She has used a large portion of her income to help finance her 16 year-old daughter's education.  She hope's to add more products such as canned food and bread to the shelves.

Karmen Khachatryan is from Armenia where she rents a hair dressing salon.  Karmen hopes to renew her store by making it a comfortable atmosphere for customers.  She hopes to eventually add other beauty options for her clients with the help of the Micro Loan.
