Both ladies are now ready to start their own ecoFashion Businesses that will generate profits while educating and empowering more women and girls, as well as improve on the state of the environment.

All of us @thegreens want to really thank all those who have supported and continue to support @ecodesigns. You played a pivotal role in the lives of these two girls who will become change-makers of their own. Thanks for trusting us and standing by our side.
Tomorrow, we will publish the graduation program.
