Wednesday, July 23rd, 2014

Combat Flip Flops is over halfway to its goal of sourcing Afghan cashmere from local producers to create scarves for first world markets. The donations made so far have:

  • logged hours in Afghan factories supporting small businesses and driving economic stability.
  • supported a Veteran owned business that gives back to the Veteran community.
  • Update3

    To add incentive, CFF has added a new donation reward to the list: The Gunner, an Afghan shemagh embroidered with a belt of ammo. The Gunner requires 6 hours of manual production in a woman owned factory, funds a week of school for an Afghan girl, and supports a veteran-owned business. For a $70 donation, you get a first run Gunner.

    The campaign ends August 18th, 2014.
