👋Have you ever been in a situation where you could not just stand by and do nothing?🤷 15 years ago, Izabela Szeliga started a promising 🚀career at Yves Saint Laurent👚, dealing with world-famous🌠 fashion designers such as Tom Ford and Yves Saint Laurent himself. However, after falling in love♥️ with a Turk🇹🇷, she decided to quit everything and start a new life 👍in Istanbul.
After getting married👰, she had a high-risk pregnancy🚨. Without knowing if the baby would survive😟, she had to lie down🛌 as much as possible. To pass the time, she reconnected with an old passion: crafting cuddly toys🧸. The baby👶 was finally born in perfect health ⚕️and Izabela decided to create a small business with the launch of a direct-to-consumer toy brand.
To hire her first employees👩💼, she posted a short ad📢 targeting mothers🤱 looking to work from home. The result was stunning🌠🌠… She received more than 3,000 applications by email 📧and over the phone☎️. Izabela discovered that thousands of women were desperately🙏 looking for additional income💰 to make ends meet. Izabela’s mission🚀 shifted from a profit-based business to a social one, providing sustainable jobs with fair pay to stay-at-home 🏘️mothers.
That is how BebeMoss was born as a responsible toy brand✔️. Every toy provides a fair trade income to a woman in need. Today, Izabela employs more than 100 mothers🌠 in Istanbul, Turkey🇹🇷, including 28 refugees from Syria 🇸🇾who are working hard to provide necessities for their families👏 while they rebuild their lives in a new country. www.bebemoss.com
🌠🌠🌠At our own pace and scale, everyone can aspire to change the world!🌠🌠🌠
