Description

EcoEquitable Inc., based in Ottawa, Ontario, is a non-profit organization that serves as a bridge to social and economic integration for people in need, with a special focus on immigrant women. Committed to making a positive impact on our community and the environment, EcoEquitable offers a range of products and services. Their flagship program, Sewing for Jobs, provides an immersive educational experience for newcomer women and those facing employment barriers.


Participants learn professional sewing skills, develop soft skills, and expand their network within the community. Additionally, EcoEquitable operates the Eco Fabric Boutique, where they collect and redistribute over 10,000 pounds of fabric and sewing materials each year. They also offer public sewing classes, providing educational opportunities for anyone interested in improving their sewing skills.


Through their sustainable approach, EcoEquitable aims to reduce textile waste by diverting materials from landfills and ensuring their circulation. The proceeds from the Eco Fabric Boutique support the organization's work in the community. With a vision of equitable and sustainable communities where women thrive, EcoEquitable promotes job and gender equity through their programs.


They provide job coaching, business referrals, and match students with paid projects and internships in collaboration with community members and organizations in Ottawa.

They are committed to challenging the status quo and continuously improving their practices to be better leaders in their community.
