In February 2010, members of the Root Capital team traveled to Liberia, where they visited the Liberian Women's Sewing Project, a sustainable apparel manufacturer part-owned and operated by Liberian women. The organization directs 75% of its profits toward community development projects including a health clinic, a vocational sewing school, and a girls scholarship fund. The remaining 25% of profits remain within the enterprise, allowing each worker to build equity over time.
