The most reliable way out of poverty is a good job

Ethical Apparel Africa builds and scales world-class garment factories in West Africa, creating stable, formal jobs, most of them for women, and helping a whole industry do the same. 

West Africa's apparel ecosystem has the potential to create millions of high quality jobs for women.
We are leading the way. 
With a rigorous evidence approach, we are proving that investing in people is good for business. Manufacturing can be cost competitive and ethical at the same time.

Results to date: 1,000+ formal jobs created, 70% for women.  Workers earn ~4x their prior income.  50% of managers are women.  Wellbeing studied independently with the Levi Strauss Foundation (90%+ satisfaction).

OPERATING MODEL

Our model turns investment in workers into a virtuous cycle: better conditions raise productivity, productivity funds better conditions, and the cycle creates more jobs. We're on a mission to create 10,000 sustainable jobs by 2030, over 70% for women.
