edun LIVE on Zazzle

A: edun LIVE is a sub-brand of EDUN, the socially conscious clothing company launched in the Spring of 2005 by Ali Hewson and Bono. The purpose of edun LIVE is to offer companies and consumers the chance to trade both ethically and competitively, and its mission is to create trade in Africa through high volume sales of blank t-shirts to the worldwide wholesale market. From the fields where the cotton is picked to the final stitch, all products are 100% African, or grow-to-sew African. This means that the economic and social benefits of each step of the value chain remain with, and have a direct impact on, those who make edun LIVE products - especially women, who form a large percentage of the workforce.
