Carmina Campus helps fund campaigns for the safeguard of environment and the promotion of human rights by donating a percentage on the sale of some bags.
Some of these campaigns are promoted by Italian NGO Aidos, Associazione Italiana Donne per lo Sviluppo (www.aidos.it)
- STOPFGM! was started some years ago by Aidos together with No Peace Without Justice and other nine African NGO to stop the practice of female genital mutilations. The campaign’s mission is to promote women’s awareness and a change of behaviour, which must necessarily involve the entire society, family, village, ethnic and religious communities, institutions, laws, culture. STOPFGM bags (the first bags produced by Carmina Campus), Keyboard and Minikeyboard bags have been created to bear the campaign’s logo, helping its message to circulate widely, and to fund the campaign by donating a percentage on each bag sold.

- ADOPT A MOTHER is another campaign developed by AIDOS.
In Third World countries over 530.000 women die every year of preventable pregnancy- and childbirth-related causes and only 50% of women give birth with the aid of qualified assistance. Pre-natal and echographic visits are rare, hospitals are often too far and are not equipped for emergencies.
20 euros a months for 12 months, for a pregnant woman in the South of the World may guarantee pre- and post-natal visits, routine medical analysis, antitetanic vaccination, food integrators, qualified aid during childbirth, contraception counselling, paediatric visits and vaccinations for infants in their first year of life.
To help a Third World mother to give birth without risks, means to help her child not to grow up without her. To save a woman’s life means to save a whole family.
To support this campaign Carmina Campus donates 20 € to AIDOS for every Baobag and Drawer bag sold.- CARMINA CAMPUS IN CAMEROON. Carmina Campus is involved in a developing project in the village of Dschang , Cameroon, in favour of a group of women, victims of sexual abuse, widows or infected with Aids. Carmina Campus supports them through a local NGO and buys tribal headgear they crochet which then becomes Cameroon and King Cameroon bags. These women also embroider pieces of recycled materials used to make the Message bags. Their creative contribution is particularly significant, because they are encouraged to draw and write whatever they wish to express.
Medium-long term plans foresee the collaboration with Rome’s University Tor Vergata for the future creation of a garden where there will be a children’s playground, within a special area devoted to the safeguard of local officinal herbs. The mothers would also greatly benefit from this project by learning new trades for the local marketing of officinal herbs and therefore reduce their social and gender handicaps.
The project is part of a program for the prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission promoted in Cameroon by Minga Africa Onlus.
Carmina Campus also supports exhibitions and other events meant to create more awareness about climate changes and their danger.
