FEEL GOOD. DO GOOD.
GOEX USES A SIMPLE TEE TO CONNECT THE CUSTOMER AND THE MAKER. OUR CUSTOMERS SUSTAIN FAIR WAGE JOBS THAT LIBERATE WORKERS FROM POVERTY AND EMPOWER THEM IN THEIR FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES.
At GOEX, we seek to do better in everything we do.
A better shirt starts with better pay. We choose to pay our workers in Kansas City and Haiti fair wages. On average, one of our workers earning a fair wage supports six family members. A better shirt starts with better standards. We are proud to say GOEX is one of the elite few who have passed the Fair Trade Federation’s (FTF) rigorous screening! Check out our blog to learn more about how we are dedicated to following the nine FTF principles established to maintain integrity.
Our story began in 2010 in Gulu, Uganda with a woman named Lucy who had a sewing center, but no work. Our parent organization, The Global Orphan Project, created work for her sewing school uniforms and a few other items. This work gave Lucy dignity, provided for her family and for others, and changed their stories from charity to empowerment.
This is what differentiates us from most apparel companies. GOEX is a life-giving alternative in the apparel industry. Over the past decade, our core story has remained the same – we exist to create and sustain fair wage jobs that empower employees to care for their families. And we are shameless in asking others to join us in this cause!
