About 25 Cloth

Every year, 15 million children die of hunger. 854 million people will go to bed hungry
tonight. The number of people who die as a direct result of malnutrition equates to dropping a Hiroshima bomb every 3 days. It's equivalent to all of New York City dying every 6 months.

We picture children as running around, energetic, and full of life; this is not the case for many children in Liberia, Africa. Many do not even have the energy to stand because they have not had food for weeks.

Every Two-Five purchase in this quarter gives a starving child daily meals for 2 weeks!

Survival is not something that most of us have to struggle with on a regular basis. But, for many families in India, it is something they are confronted with everyday. They are consistently wondering if their families will have food for the coming days or even weeks at a time. For these people, a rooster and hen are not pets. They are the source of up to 40 dozen eggs a year! When a pair produces chicks, a flock develops that will provide nourishment and income for years.

This quarter, when you buy a shirt from Two-Five (25cloth.com), you are giving a family in India a chicken. By this simple act, you will be providing them with food from the eggs produced and a source of income. This can literally change the fate of the family and the community in which they exist.

By simply purchasing a shirt, you are changing a family's life. What other shirt do you have that has made someone's life better or given them hope? Our desire is that this is just the beginning of your journey in making a difference in the lives of others.

Isn't it funny how the simplest convenience to us can mean life or death to someone else? We worry about what car we drive or what clothes we wear, while others worry about if the water they are drinking will end up killing them. Can you imagine the uproar in America if a batch of unclean water infected a group of people? It would be all over the news and nobody would stand for it. Sadly, not only a batch, but the majority of water in Rwanda is filled with life threatening diseases. 80% of deaths in Rwanda are caused by water-born illnesses.

Close to 75,000 lives have been saved by the few existing clean water wells in Rwanda. Join with us this quarter in saving more lives. Buy a shirt and tell the story! Our hope and vision is to give over 4,500 people access to clean water. Help us sell 1,200 shirts a month to accomplish this amazing task!

Hurricane Ike was the third most destructive hurricane to hit the United States.  Damage from Ike in America is estimated at 27 billion dollars, and over 100,000 homes were flooded in Texas.  While Ike has come and gone, its devastation will continue to linger as we begin to piece back together what Ike has shattered.

Life for those who survived Ike will forever be changed.  Some will mourn the loss of loved ones, while other will return to homes that have been destroyed and jobs that no longer exist.  What would you do if you went home today to helplessly find it in ruins?  What if your community was destroyed and your life as you knew it had disappeared before your eyes?  In your desperation, what would you want others to do for you?

Join with Two-Five this quarter in restoring the lives of those affected by Hurricane Ike.  With every shirt purchased from 25cloth.com you are changing the lives of those living in the aftermath of Ike.  Over 40% of the proceeds from Ike relief shirts and 25% of all other shirts go towards providing food, building supplies, clothes, and other necessities to these victims.  You have the ability to bring comfort, peace, and restoration to hurting people.  Will you join us?

Bear Hug is about getting involved in service. Each shirt comes with two stuffed bears. You get involved by taking your bear to someone who is hurting. That someone can be in a children’s hospital, homeless shelter, orphanage…wherever you see a need.

This is about more than just a bear. This is about spreading love, joy, and hope to people in need. Children who are in the middle of a long battle with illness, teenagers who have been abandoned and feel they have no place to turn, parents who have lost everything and wish they could provide something to bring a smile to their child’s face…these stories and more like it represent our mission.

We can choose to ignore it or we can choose to get involved. “Bear Hug� seeks to unite people who are in need with people who can help. Use the bear as bridge to be involved in a hurting person’s life.

Every year, 200,000  children a year are born in developing countries with club-foot.  If left untreated, there would be approximately 2 million children with this disability over the next 10 years.  This is NOT a minor disability, yet it is a simple fix.

These children are seen as burdens on their families and are rejected by the community.  At times, it has been said that they are cursed by the devil.  They cannot walk to school to get an education, or contribute to their community.  It is too difficult physically and emotionally.

25 Cloth is now partnering with an organization to help these children.  This quarter, in addition to purchasing a shirt, you supply one child with the materials for a cast..  With your purchase, a child will have the opportunity to heal properly and enjoy one of life's basic functions--to walk.  Thank you for joining  with 25 Cloth to make a difference.

In our First quarter, every 25 shirt purchased gave a person in Rwanda Africa clean water for life. To us, clean water is all that we know; but in Rwanda, 80% of deaths are caused by the water born illnesses in the puddles they are forced to drink from.

Because of your purchases 750 people in Rwanda were given clean water for life in our first quarter. This water is saving them from a life of constant sickness and possibly death. That truly is the definition of our statement, “Not just a shirt…A life changed.” Thank you, all who joined with 25 and changed the world by purchasing a shirt.

For our second quarter, Every 25 shirt purchased gave a child with Clubfoot in Central America, the casting that will cure them of the disease. Clubfoot is something these children are born with and if it’s not corrected by the time they are 3, walking will be something they never experience. Of course many of these children and their families don’t have the funds to correct this, so the children become outcasts in their society and are said to be, “Cursed by the Devil” and treated like lepers.
