What really sold him, though, was the story. A woman set up the company, which sells assorted work accessories in pink, and gives a portion of every purchase to The Kenya Project, which build homes for widowed women and their children.
According to the website, the founder of the company, Terri Ikeda, was in Kenya for two weeks in 2007, helping build homes for widowed women and their children. She was highly impacted by the plight of women and their need for housing. When she returned home, she began to look for ways to provide funds to do more building. She purchased the company Pink Tool Belts and uses the profits to build homes for widows in Kenya.
When Les read that, he knew I would be excited to support such an organization, so he ordered the pink tool belt, and added a pink construction helmet (I wrote hat at first, I'm such a girl!), pink work gloves, and a pink bag to carry my tools??? in.
I was thrilled when I got the box and found out that my gift was also a gift to help widows in Kenya. The quality is excellent, made from very heavy suede, with thick stitching.
