In buying a 'stroptass', you can be assured all your money goes towards medical help for beduin in the Sinai desert.

One can frequently read rather disappointing reports that a large % of money given to charities doesn't reach the cause it was meant for. We can guarantee that your purchase goes directly to the beduin in Egypt. How?

 - the ties and jeans from which we make the 'stroptass' bags are given to us by family, friends and acquaintances (this way we also contribute towards recycling unwanted material)

 - a tiny portion of money (like € 10) is sometimes spent on buying buttons or zippers, but to be honest, we mostly pay for these from our own money

 - and other than that, there are no costs involved, other than that a lot of time goes into the bags. But that is why this is a hobby and not our fulltime job :-)

 - the money that we raise, we hand over personally to Joyce, a Dutch woman who lives among the beduin in Dahab, Egypt. She knows the local community and it customs, and knows who needs medical care and has difficulty paying for it.
