10000 Girls by Cotton Loops is a social initiative by Cotton Loops for vocational training, social advancement and economic development for 10000 underserved girls by 2030.
As a leading global sustainable and ethical fashion lifestyle brand, Cotton Loops has since 2018 empowered over 5,000 women and girls as beneficiaries of employment, educational, social and vocational trainings and mentoring using apparel manufacturing, artisanal craftsmanship, retail, training and technology as a force for positive change. These beneficiaries are made up of female seniors in public high schools, vulnerable girls and women in disadvantaged communities, girls and women in low income areas and in shanty/makeshift communities and numerous artisans and artisanal collectives across West Africa, in our factory and across multiple maker communities.
Within the 10,000 Girls Project, we have trained and positively impacted thousands of young girls and placed program beneficiaries in internships and full time employment. We empower, enrich, train and propel young women across disadvantaged local communities in Nigeria into full, healthy, successful lives and careers and aim to have reached 10000 of these youths by 2023
