IOM EGYPT
"I Feel the World" is a project that delves into the lives of eight men from diverse backgrounds who courageously share their experiences with mental health challenges. Through raw candid interviews and photographic storytelling, we explore their journeys of self-discovery, resilience, and the transformative power of vulnerability.
A powerful collaboration between sustainable streetwear/social advocacy brand Sacer (pronounced Sat-cher) and the talented mental health photographer Anna Afanasjeva, this project is supported by IOM (the International Organization for Migration) in Egypt.

A better World Movement
A Better World is a movement between 4 Egyptian sustainable brands that came together to create an eco-bundle that provides sustainable alternatives to everyday lifestyle products. The bundle includes products that raise awareness for taking care of our seas & oceans, using 3 “champion” creatures (the whale, shark and turtle) to help customers understand why they’re in danger of extinction. In addition to the products in the bundle, we also held experiential interactive events for kids & adults to raise awareness for this cause. A percentage of sales is allocated for a beach clean-up and tree planting event.

UNHCR EGYPT
For our 'Threads of Life' collection we collaborated with the UNHCR in Egypt where we worked with a group of refugee artists from Syria, Eriteria and South Sudan. We bought their artwork and used them to create up cycled pieces to advocate for their cause. Through in-depth interviews we shared their stories by taking excerpts and adding it to the pieces. In addition, we held a Mental Health workshop where we created new art pieces that expressed their identities & self-image, telling new stories about where they’ve been, where they are and where they want to go. A percentage of sales from this collection was donated to the refugee artists.
