Sevenly is a website devoted to raising awareness for charity organizations, by featuring 1 cause each week and creating shirts to sell to raise money towards their goal. $7 of the sale of each shirt goes directly to the charity.
MISSION: To harness the power of art and community to build sustainable awareness and funding movements that support charities in their efforts to change the world.
PURPOSE: We believe in the value of the human being, and that there is no greater calling than to provide, heal, rescue, and serve others.
VISION: To be the world’s most effective cause activation platform leading a generation toward intentional generosity and love for others.
Their overall purpose is driven from this verse found in the book of Matthew 22:36-40.
"“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. ’This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
This week, Sevenly is focusing on the charity Pencils for Promise:
Problem
With the start of a new school year, many of us can remember the excitement (and dread) of going back to school. But what if you were denied access to education? In Guatemala, this is the reality for most of the population. In areas where schools exist, 85% of them are inadequate, lacking sufficient space, classrooms, electricity, clean water and sanitation. Since the average child only attends school for 3 years, this is a world where children have little opportunity for a future.
Solution
Our goal this week is to build two classrooms for a village in Guatemala! If we raise $20,000, we'll be able to fund not only the entire cost of the construction and labor, but also supplies. Because of you, hundreds of children will receive education and hope for a brighter future!
