STORY: |
“A partnership with Apolis offers an unusual and innovative approach to the market. For a company to work with a non-profit organization, It takes an ability to see the long range affects of their business on both consumers and manufacturers. In a majority of the developing world where products are made, it is the "individual" story that fuels this production. When we partnered with Apolis, we were able to take on several more part-time women and provide them with stable jobs. Their potential and determination, when given this opportunity, is amazing. Apolis illuminates the chain of events that brings a product from Nepali hands to your communities hands.” — Michael Daube, Citta Executive Director
