  • Same Sky is a cause-based trade initiative that provides training and employment for HIV-positive women survivors of the 1994 Rwandan genocide struggling to lift themselves out of poverty. Same Sky is headquartered in New York City. In 2013, Same Sky began to employ women in America through the Same Sky America Pilot Project in Jersey City. Called Same Sky America, this project works with the women of the Most Excellent Way Learning Life Center who are working to rebuild their lives after incarceration. Founded in 2007 by Francine LeFrak (daughter of New York real estate developer Samuel J. LeFrak), Same Sky partners with the handicraft organization Gahaya Links in Kigali, Rwanda. Same Sky also partners with select online retailers, including the nonprofit Shopping for a Change. The women artisans that Same Sky employs make crocheted glass-beaded bracelets, which are made from hand-blown glass beads from California. Same Sky products can be seen on celebrities such as Bono, Halle Berry, Ben Affleck, Meryl Streep, Fergie, Hillary Clinton, Usher, and Kris Jenner. (en)
