One Mango Tree

From the Mango Tree website:
One Mango Tree provides the foundation necessary for achieving sustainable peace and development...income generating opportunities for women in impoverished and conflict-ridden areas of the globe We have two bottom lines - profit and social impact. Unlike regular for-profit businesses, 100% of One Mango Tree's profits are reinvested in the company - to expand and grow the business - with the ultimate goal of making an ever-increasing social impact through our work.And, unlike typical non-profits or charities, we strive to achieve full-cost recovery from our operations.That means we don't need to raise outside funds from donors for our operations. We accomplish our social impact through investing the revenues from the sale of our beautiful products and investments from individuals looking to earn back their money while making a positive social impact.
