What you may not know however, is that we are very selective about the companies we work with and the products and services we recommend to our readers. On just about a daily basis we are pitched things that don’t align with our mission for one reason or another. They may not be a good fit for our boys, we may not agree with their manufacturing processes (where and how they are made), or we may not trust the quality of their product. It is also a big deal to us how companies treat their workers and their overall environmental impact. Suffice it to say, we had no such concerns when we found out about the following company, which not only makes great products, but does things the right way and has a charitable goal that we can really get behind.
WO Design is a company with a serious mission – “Creating change for widows and orphans in Ethiopia”. This aim is apparent in everything that they do, and even proudly displayed in the company name itself: WO stands for Widows and Orphans. The company was founded by Josh Allen, who after a service trip to Ethiopia in 2012, felt called to do something about the startling needs of the people for basic supplies and resources. He and his wife were already in the pet industry, having opened up a local pet supply store several years before, and saw an opportunity to use this connection to make a difference.
