Nonprofit Partners Program
By partnering with Dsenyo, non-profits can raise money for their cause while also supporting the women and artisans that we work with in Malawi. It's pretty simple. We set up a welcome page on our store for the partner which looks like this: http://shop.dsenyo.com/pages/life
The non-profit and their supporters can pass this link along in anyway (email, newsletters, website, facebook, etc). Whenever someone arrives at the Dsenyo shop via this link, sales will be credited to the partner organization and Dsenyo will donate 30% of those sales.
