The UK brand, which makes accessories with leather offcuts, has been donating to the Barefoot College over the past few years and says the results show “when you unleash goodness, it has a tendency to multiply”.

Co-founder Kresse Wesling said: “These women have not stopped at solar, they are building businesses, they are sharing their learnings, they are empowering other women in their communities. During the pandemic our donation largely helped to fund a training hub in Guatemala. 

“What we are most excited about is that we have just received our first 'green beans' from B.Barefoot in Guatemala. Several Barefoot graduates have set-up an organic, renewably powered, fairly traded, community-owned coffee enterprise and we are bringing the coffee here to the UK.”
