SWIMMsuits that gives back.
 
The power of your purchase goes far beyond your GEORGI SWIMMS piece. Our mission statement "Value ourselves, value others, value the planet" meant it was crucial that our pieces need to do more than be your summer sidekick (which we know they are). We feel privileged to be able to partner with 3 amazing NGO's through I=Change.

Clean the seas.
 
$1 = Removes 1.2kg of plastic and debris from the sea.
 

Over 160 million tons of plastic is produced each year to create single-use disposable items and packaging.

With no established system to close the loop, this has led to over 70 years of accumulation of plastics in landfill (40%) and the environment (32%), with only 10% being recycled.

Plastics end up in waterways and oceans, breaking down into ever smaller pieces called micro-plastics, well known for entering the food chain through the water, air and food that we consume.

Seabin Smart Tech, similar to a rubbish bin X pool skimmer, removes floating plastics as small as 2mm, filtering 600,000L of water per day from oil and surface pollutants.

Restore the land.

 $50 = Plants enough trees and shrubs to store 1 tonne of carbon dioxide.  
 

Since European settlement, over 90 million hectares of land across Australia has been cleared, threatening species and the productivity of farmlands. Climate change will only exacerbate the impact with reduced rainfall, increased temperatures, droughts and more frequent extreme weather events.

Greening Australia aims to restore 330,000 hectares of native trees across Australia by 2030. Drawing on the expert input of Traditional Owners, scientists and local land managers, we will plant 500 million trees and shrubs to store carbon, create quality habitat for native wildlife, and restore degraded farmland. These 500 million trees and shrubs will absorb over 1.3 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year by 2030, and reduce atmospheric carbon pollution.

This is one of the world’s largest and most ambitious ecological restoration programs.

GRENNING AUS X Georgi Swimms 

Empower her choice.
 
$50 = Improves her financial security and ability to leave a violent relationship.
 

In Vanuatu, women and girls are most disadvantaged by poverty - and high rates of violence limit their opportunity to attend school, earn an income and share in community decision-making.

CARE’s Leftemap Sista II project is helping thousands of vulnerable women and girls break the cycle of poverty and live free from violence and abuse.

CARE is developing networks that give women better access to finance, education and essential healthcare. As a result, these women develop the skills and confidence to step into leadership positions and participate meaningfully in decision-making at all levels, also with the support of men in their communities.
