At Tea, “For Little Citizens of the World” says it all. The “for” is at the heart of our work – it reminds us about the why.
At Tea we believe raising our children to be familiar with other cultures shapes them into better world citizens, conscious, aware, and mindful members of the global community. When we started Tea, we aspired to work toward this goal through our collections, bringing globally inspired designs to the world’s little citizens.
After a few seasons, we wanted to make our philosophy more tangible. We searched for a partner that had a similar point of view and found the perfect match in the Global Fund for Children.
The GFC’s inspiring work includes financing grassroots organizations that transform the lives of children around the world. They also publish beautiful books that make the foreign a little more familiar for our own children through pictures and stories.
The GFC’s books below are great ways to begin talking to your little citizens about the great big world:
Children from Australia to Zimbabwe
And the companion guide for parents: Raising Children to Become Caring Contributors to the World
