Give a gift that gives back. Socially conscious gifts are a great idea for anyone who wants to make an impact on the lives of more than just the person receiving the gift. The companies and organizations below give proceeds and opportunities to help struggling communities grow and develop around the world. Here are six gifts for the socially conscious young woman in your life:

SIMBI- Jewelry

Each SIMBI accessory sold provides funding to install clean water filters in Haiti. Additionally, all the products are made by Haitian women, giving them sustainable employment and income.

SUDARA- Loungewear

Made in India, SUDARA Punjammies are lounge pants and sleepwear that are made by women who have escaped human trafficking. SUDARA gives these women the chance to earn an income and provide for their families.

31 Bits- Accessories

31 Bits sells jewelry made by Ugandan and Indonesian women, empowering them and providing a source of income to rise out of poverty. Each piece is made from recycled, natural materials, so everything is eco-friendly as well.

FEED- Bags

FEED is a company that helps to fight world hunger. Each FEED bag is stamped with the number of meals the purchase of that bag provided to a community in need. Traditionally made of burlap, these bags are a fashion statement as well as a great way to help others.
