The Orenda Tribe

Think all t-shirts are created equally? Think again.

The Orenda Tribe's line of t-shirts are not only stylish but also give back in a very big way. 

Founded by Zaid Souqi in 2015, these adorable tees are adorned with artwork drawn by children living in what they refer to as partner communities and include refugee camps, orphanages, or less fortunate communities. 

The tees are made of super soft 100% organic cotton and are available in both child and adult sizes (perfect for an adorable Mommy and me look), and every t-shirt you buy serves the much greater purpose of giving back.

The Orenda Tribe prides itself of being a purpose-driven company and through their efforts of organizing art workshops in their partner communities, that both inspire and teach children value skills, they bring the gift of art to children who rarely have the opportunity to cultivate their talents.

Most of us are aware of the healing properties of creative expression, and by wearing one of the adorable designs, it is a reminder how cathartic creativity can be. What I really love about this company is the transparency of their operations. They have a page dedicated to explaining what they give and how sales of their products drive the core mission of the brand. 

My favorite tee in the collection is the minimalist Mama Bee T-shirt that features an adorable buzzing honeybee darting across the chest. Even more adorable is the matching kids Buzzy Bee tee, which has a larger bumblebee with a baby bee in tow. I have been wearing mine nonstop, and only wish that The Orenda Tribe made a cat t-shirt to match. 

As the weather continues to warm for spring, you will no doubt reach for a classic jeans and t-shirt combo, but I urge you to put down your plain white tee and check out The Orenda Tribe instead. And, this socially responsible brand also makes a cool gift, perfect for stuffing in Easter baskets.
