Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

Ancestral Hands Midwives is looking to diversity our revenue by creating our own line of Afrocentric merchandise. As a non profit organization we don't want to spend all of our time asking for funding, instead want to create our own source of revenue by selling unique products that align with our values.

We believe this project will require:

  • Brainstorm merchandise ideas
  • Researching potential manufacturers and obtain quotes
  • Brainstorm t-shirt design ideas
  • Developing a prototype of a recommended product design

The final deliverables include:

  • A report on the research, findings, and general design recommendations for prototype you developed.
  • Provide a recommended design and manufacturer for a t-shirt that we can sell as a fundraiser.

We are excited to work with students who support our mission and want to have fun creating unique merchandise. Whether you're a fashion student, artist or you're just interested in what we do, we want to work with you.

How will you support learners in completing the project?

We will provide ongoing support to students and conduct weekly check-ins. We are easily accessible by email, phone or web conference as needed.
