About us
We launched soHza sister April 13, 2013. Three sisters. A belief in the power of women. And an idea that we could help bring them together for change. We wanted to create a social enterprise dedicated to helping women both locally and globally.
In 2021 we opened our first brck and mortar fairtrade boutique dowtown Covington in Mainstrasse Village. So now you can buy buy unique “sister” gifts both online and in person.
If you buy and share one of our products, you’ll help the woman that made it globally, and in return we will donate to a local non-profit for women–putting you at the center of change.
soHza sister has partnered with 22 different fair trade co-ops in over 11 countries. They offer these empowered women opportunities that change lives. Each piece of handmade jewelry and ethical clothing has a powerful story. Then we give to local non-profits that help women — helping women here by helping women there.
After over nine years in business, we have built a great community of local women change makers, given over $40,000 to our local non-profit partners and purchased $1 million with our global partners.
