Zibel x Soles4Souls, proudly supported by VF Group

Zibel, the local NGO focusing on environmental clean-ups and a healthier livelihood, were extremely touched by the response they got for their recent collaboration with soles4souls. They feel extremely lucky to have teamed up with such a like-minded organisation.

Soles4Souls aims to wear out poverty by distributing shoes and clothing to homeless shelters, disaster-relief areas, refugee centres and families in need all over the world. As Zibel, they have become their Maltese partners.

Today, they are proud to be exporting a full 40ft container sponsored by the amazing people at VF Group (BTI Uniforms, Mexx, Hugo Boss, Sarto, Samsonite and Faces Displays), with over 20,000 garments donated towards this project to help give it wings. These garments will be used in Soles4Souls' micro enterprise programme, which helps families pull themselves out of poverty by helping them set up and maintain their own businesses.

The support they were shown by their launching partners, VF Group, is truly humbling. They have supported this initiative wholeheartedly and it would not have been such a successful launch without them.

VF Group has set an example for all Maltese business in this regard and sincerely hopes that others follow in their footsteps. This project is not the product of a few months’ work, but stems from very humble beginnings. The first clothes swap, organised last year, was the foundation and this project is its evolution. Zibel remains and will continue to fight the tough battle against fast fashion and fashion waste. Their aim is to minimise the amount of things that end up in landfills, to put already existing things to good use and spread a little bit of love.

Moving forward, all the excess garments from our swaps will be headed towards Soles4Souls. Additionally they will be releasing schemes for schools and businesses to also collaborate with them for their CSR. Whether you're a retailer, manufacturer or just an individual, get in touch to get involved. They would love to hear from you via
