For Little Global Citizens
Alexandria-based Aloetree strives to fight child trafficking and encourage children to give of themselves. The adorable Square characters that appear on bright t-shirts and onesies share stories of doing good. Founder Anbinh Phan has partnered with Chab Dai, a Cambodian-founded nonprofit addressing human trafficking and exploitation.

 A Joyful Lifestyle
TransElated is “a socially conscious fashion and lifestyle brand created to unite people.” The DC-based company uses recycled and organic products to design positive attire. TransElated has partnered with Kollegebound Learning to provide mentorship to children living in homeless shelters in the U.S. and abroad. TransElated also donates a portion of proceeds to charities including Water.org, Scholarship America and Keep A Child Alive. Find TransElated products at the Fenton Street Market Holidaze through Dec. 23.

Coexist Coffee
You’ve seen the bumper stickers. Yes, those ones, with multiple religious symbols. But do you know what they’re about? Coexist goes beyond the bumper sticker to raise funds for communities with a history of conflict. Coexist creates working environments where those who have been at opposition work together. Profits from Fair Trade coffee grown in Uganda go to local schools. Profits from clothing go toward Indian community schools.
