1 item purchased = €1 donated to an Indonesian family, Wiwin's family. Wiwin is an extraordinary woman who runs a small 'warung'/shack on a beach in Bali. The money raised will go towards food, school supplies, tuition fees, etc. for Arsen, a wonderful child whom Wiwin has been lovingly caring for for several years ♡
In 2024 the money gathered was shared and donated to Wiwin for little Arsen, to a family from Medewi met in 2015 to contribute to the hospital costs of little Maryam who is fighting against heart problems (let's think of her) as well as to the Bali Life foundation which has several programs including an orphanage ♡
In 2023 the money gathered was donated to Wiwin for little Arsen ♡
But why Kacang? Pronounced Ka-tchang, it all started a few years ago after meeting an Indonesian designer at a market in Bali. This person is inspiringly optimistic and positive, and above all, incredibly generous and kind. Each piece comes to life in a small workshop, thanks to a designer and his small team. #slowfashion
In the workshop, it's like my family, since the beginning of this project the goal was to build together, and that each person who contributes can live from it and acquire stability. Unlike fast fashion where human exploitation is commonplace, kacang is about humanity, small-scale production, good times spent in life and remuneration for artisans commensurate with the exceptional work done.
It's never too late to make a difference. All these big companies that swear only by profit and profitability, to the detriment of people and the planet, will have to stop one day or another.
In 2022 , 2021 and 2020, the funds were donated to the Scholars of Sustenance Indonesia food bank.
