We believe that all children should be given
an equal opportunity in life, especially when it comes to the provision
of basic needs such as Housing, Health care and Education. At this very
moment, in Nepal, in Kathmandu 55 disadvantage children desperately
needs the Home - orphans, conflict victim children from very poor and
disadvantage families. They need our support and devotion they deserve.
With no one to provide shelter or care, those children are often left to
wander the streets and beg or work for food with no education or care.
Therefore ,’’Fashionforfood’’ project was born.
"Fashionforfood"
is a non-profit association (law 1901) and of the public interest. It
is a nongovernmental organization (NGO). The main purpose of our
association - with the help of our event to raise funds to build
orphanages in Nepal. The reason we’ve created this association is a
trip to Nepal, that Margarita has effected the last year, during which
she was touched by the extreme poverty of the country and many abandoned
children, forced to work very young. We have decided to bring together
the fashion world to help those who need it most.
The aim of our
organization is humanitarian and has multipolar approach to different
fields : child sponsorship, construction and financing of projects in
various fields (health, education, housing and improvement of everyday
life in orphanages).
The association is self - financing through various means ways:
- donations from public and private financiers in order to collect funds
- projects, exhibitions - selling various fashion items or other provided by the donors (fashion designers, celebrities, photographers).
Our
idea is to organize a single or multiple international event each year.
The principle is to put forward our knowledge regarding the fashion
world: the largest agencies of Parisian models and best known fashion
designers to collect this money from the public and private donors or
sponsors wishing to participate. We motivate our donors by involving
them in this significant project and will publicize their commitment to
our side with all modern community tools.
At 2011, the charity event , organised by "Fashionforfood’’ team,
will be taking place to collect the modest sum of 150 000 euros, that
will be used to build an orphanage in Nepal.
The event will have two objectives:
the
first - to raise funds to give to specific charities in connection with
our deeper values, which have been recognized as trustworthy in their
actions.
The second - to "give something back" to donors by
providing them with an event. It would be composed from fashion show, a
gala dinner an auction of various items of fashion and art, lottery and
the discotheque with the hottest DJ of the moment.
The event will happen in Paris and later can be adapted in other major French cities and abroad.
The association is self - financing through various means ways:
- donations from public and private financiers in order to collect funds
- projects, exhibitions - selling various fashion items or other provided by the donors (fashion designers, celebrities, photographers).
It should be noted that each ''fashionforfood'' team member is working outside the associaton as well, so it has very low operating costs.
