Do-Good Designs

By Debra Bokur

Some businesses that provide products created especially for children have a special handle on this concept, donating their wares or using a portion of their profits to give back to their communities, and to the world at large.

Every item in this vibrantly patterned girls' line is party-worthy. As an added bonus, many of the whimsical dresses and skirts are reversible, upping their lifespan and practicality.

Designer, owner, and mom Cynthia Jamin's commitment to kids and environmental issues includes educating children to be responsible, conscientious, peaceful citizens of the world.

Charities that benefit from TwirlyGirl sales include The Strongheart Fellowship Program and The Center for Nonviolent Education and Parenting. The Strongheart Fellowship Program helps outstanding young people from particularly difficult situations worldwide develop into adults in leadership roles who can effect positive global changes.
