Amazing story! Very inspiring!
Thanks Sophia!
I love the long term commitment to these projects as opposed to the set it up and leave approach. I am such a fan of the Red Sweater Project and can’t wait to hear more about the latest efforts.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts Julia.
Education is vitally important to everyone. Educating our youth gives them options, and in turn, the tools to further society. People like Ashley, who work hard to make others’ lives better are truly inspiring!
Thanks for sharing Jenna.
The Red Sweater Project is changing lives through education. This has a domino effect as these youth will have the opportunity rise above poverty and be active voices in their community. The students will have the power to create change and enhance the quality of life for their families and communities.
Thank you for donating to an incredible cause!

Agreed! Thank you Caitlin.
I really enjoyed this podcast with Ashley from the Red Sweater Project. I actually volunteer with this organization and Ashley did such a great job of explaining the mission and everything RSP is about. I just wanted to thank her for her incredible energy and commitment. The sustainability focus and her unique approach is what attracted me to this organization. Also, I loved the “two ears and 1 mouth, use them in that order,” comment. That is great advice for any traveler! This is the first time I’ve tuned in, but I’ll def be back for more! Great podcast!
Thank you for your wonderful work.
