Origin and background
According to her own statements, Mancenon shaped her move from industrialized Japan to Manila at the age of seven. Encounters with Filipino street children led to the development of the project years later. Around eight million fifteen to nineteen year olds live in the Philippines, of whom more than 2.7 million live in extreme poverty.
procedure
On the website, which was put online in January 2010, registered members can contact the Southeast Asian young people directly and contribute individual wishes for the design of the clothing. Once the work is done, the bespoke pieces will be purchased through the organization. According to its own information, around 1200 members registered in the first week. A second mainstay is the receipt of sponsorship money, through which schools can be financed.
