Mask Initiative!
2,500 masks donated
DesignLabGive, the non-profit for women's rights broadened its scope to address basic human rights amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. With the help of 35 volunteers 2,500 masks have been made since March to help aid the community during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our volunteers, kids, teens, and adults alike have done their part to address the urgent need for PPE that does not take resources away from our brave healthcare professionals and first responders.
Behind the Masks!
Breakthrough Miami
DLG partnered with Breakthrough Miami to teach volunteer-run weekly classes in Fall 2017 & Winter 2018.
Breakthrough provides an academic enrichment program to under-resourced middle-school students.
We taught teen girls the art of sewing and showing creative possibilities as a tool for independence.
Lotus House
DLG taught weekly classes for women living at the Miami shelter during Spring 2018.
We provided a safe place to explore creativity and a source of motivation for women who were experiencing difficulties.
The Guatemalan-Maya Center
DLG donated Brother sewing machines & fabric so the community of migrant workers and their families could have access to masks during the pandemic.
Sewers taught others, empowering an entire community.
Fundraising Events
Turning Tables Fashion Show
On December 14th, 2019, our group of teen volunteers shined as they showcased sustainable, one-of-a-kind pieces designed with high-end table linens donated by Nuage Designs Inc.
The successful event gathered close to 200 people as the community fundraised for DLG’s Kenyan workshops, bidding during a silent auction forcool, coveted, hip dresses designed by young artists.
The fashion show took place at Pivot Market at The Citadel in Miami, the first all-inclusive marketplace that houses sustainable brands.
