Social Justice is created when we nurture engagements that realise the fullness of any experience. When The Possibility Project talks about ‘fullness’, we talk about using every resource we have to create outcomes that demonstrate both material and non-material benefits, seen and unseen. We want all exchanges to reflect as much wealth and worth as possible, we named our label slumwear108 for this very purpose, to bring to life the potential of a situation by demonstrating the joy that also exists within the darkness. One of the greatest lessons we have mastered through our collaborative work with communities that live below poverty line, was to remove judgement of what we had initially believed possible with the resources we had. This...
Join the movement. What is Fashion Revolution? The Fashion Revolution movement is a collaborative experience to encourage all of us to ask one vital question ‘Who made my clothes’? The mission is powerful, to create an industry that values people, the environment, creativity and profits in equal measure, it encourages individuals to make this happen. When we know where and how our products are made, we become better equipped to make responsible choices for both people and planet. How we take responsibility slumwear108 is part of a slow clothing model that values purpose along with profit, our recycled silk sari and naturally dyed garments are co-created with former street youths and impoverished women in Jaipur. We design and craft our...
“If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other’ Mother Teresa For Kath and I peace is an absolute experience, it naturally arises when you choose to create from non-judgement. We move peacefully between many diverse communities, none more apparent than our own in Sydney and that of the streets of Jaipur, and the simplest journey towards peace always occurs when we move from our heads (which judges everything) to our hearts (which joins). “Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal. We must pursue peaceful ends through peaceful means’ Dr M L King. Our work to support I-India with...
Through our work with I-India, we have embraced the richest part of this journey, joining any Indian festival we can (trust us, there are many!). Holi, which is a true festival of colour and belonging to one tribe is an extraordinary show of playfulness. The joy of festivals reflect the essence of our work, it is why we describe this website as a playground for social justice. We are always thrilled to attend markets and festivals, our community stall imbues the spirit of resourcefulness and a sense of belonging to something greater than self. Drawing on our experiences in building slumwear108 we are often invited to spread our ideas and products of creative social justice. The Possibility Project is built...
‘I think consensus is a poor substitute for leadership’ Charlotte Beers. With the on-going help of our collaborators, The Possibility Project is dedicated to creating innovative solutions to social problems. Our Sparrow Sanitation program with I-India is aimed at addressing ‘water slavery', where people are denied safe and adequate infrastructure for proper sanitation and hygiene. Water slavery is at the root of many human rights abuses and can be solved. I-India can deliver water to the impoverished for only 2 cents a child. With an estimated 2.5 billion people lacking access to proper sanitation (more than 35% of the world’s population), the statistics may make this human rights abuse feel insurmountable.Scarce and dirty water and lack of proper waste disposal education...
