Ryonet, Vancouver, Wash., recently announced it is organizing a behind-the-scenes trip for supporters, partners, early adopters and financial backers of its Allmade T-shirt brand.

In March 2017, Ryonet, working in cooperation with the GO Exchange (GOEX) and 10 founding partners, organized an Indiegogo fundraising campaign to benefit The Global Orphan Project, (GO Project) a Kansas City, Mo.-based, global community committed to caring for children and families in crisis.

Funds raised for the Allmade project will be used to manufacture eco-friendly T-shirts, made for a living wage, benefiting orphan care and prevention in Haiti. The campaign exceeded its goal as of this past April.

The behind-the-scenes trip, to held in late August, begin in North Carolina and end in Haiti, where participants will meet the people, tour the facilities and experience the energy behind Allmade shirts. In North Carolina, visitors will see used plastic bottles transformed into polyester fibers at the Repreve factory. They also will meet representatives of Carolina Cotton Works, who will demonstrate how those fibers are spun into yarn, knitted into fabric and packaged for shipping to Haiti.


In Port Au Prince, Haiti, participants will visit the Global Orphan Project and its facility, as well as tour of some of the orphanages supported by the GO Project, as well as the Life SA factory where fabric is sewn into Allmade shirts. Members will share lunch with factory workers and hear their stories.

The Haiti visit will wind down with a bus tour of the countryside and catered picnic. Visitors will see presentations from Allmade and GOEX executives detailing the environmental and human impact of the garment industry.

Spots for half or the entire trip are available. For a detailed itinerary, pricing and a packing list, email contact@allmade.com.
