In a world where nobody seems to want to help each other, these companies go above and beyond to contribute to different areas of the world and groups of people that sometimes get overlooked by society. When you buy from them, you aren't just buying a gift for your sister or a cute accessory for yourself, you're doing a good deed.

1. Sudara

"Every purchase supports job creation and skills training for women in India who are at risk or survivors of sex trafficking."

2. Hiptipico

"Hiptipico is an ethical fashion brand based in Panajachel, Guatemala showcasing Maya artisans and their handmade creations. Every Hiptipico item is thoughtfully handcrafted by indigenous communities, using high quality sustainable materials."

3. Twice As Warm

"Providing new winter clothing to people in need. Each purchase provides a new clothing item to a person in need. Wear one, give one."

4. Krochet Kids

"We provide life-changing job opportunities to women in need. With each purchase you make we introduce you to the woman who made your product and invite you to visit her online profile to learn more about her."

5. House of Light Goods

"House of Light Goods is a non-profit small business that provides empowered employment to single mothers in Primo Tapia, Mexico and helps bring positive change to vulnerable families and children at risk."

6. Out of Print

"Out of Print has donated over 3 million books to communities in need and supported a variety of literacy initiatives. With every purchase, you help us to make a difference, while also supporting the authors, publishers, and artists who helped bring these iconic works to life."

7. Roma Boots

"Our mission is to bring impoverished children throughout the world hope, love, and lasting change through aid and education. For every pair of boots sold, a new pair is donated to a child in need."

When you buy from these companies, you can be assured that your money is going somewhere good. No more underpaid factory workers! Instead you're doing your part to contribute back to the world and take care of the people in it.
