Each 100% organic Monk Threads® one-piece Bodhisuit© is composed by the most gentle of the North, South, East, and West winds. The Bodhisuit© is named after the Bodhi tree where the Buddha first attained enlightenment.

$5 dollars of EVERY garment sold will go to http://poverty-action.org. Monk Threads has chosen to support a non-profit that monitors and verifies the methods of OTHER finance and aid assistance programs. Monk Threads feels that these contributions are wise because Innovations for Poverty Action enable the best possible resources to be researched and implemented across the globe.

Their Mission Statement:

Fighting Poverty with Innovation, Evidence and Action.
Innovations for Poverty Action is a nonprofit dedicated to discovering what works to help the world’s poor. We design and evaluate programs in real contexts with real people, and provide hands-on assistance to bring successful programs to scale.
IPA evaluates what works in fighting poverty using the most rigorous methodology available: The Randomized Control Trial.

We are led by researchers including some of the most recognized names in development economics, many holding faculty positions at universities such as Harvard, Yale, MIT, and LSE.
