Gadat's Heart
A community building, empowerment and connection initiative by Gadat House
The Mission
Gadat’s Heart exists to transform the fashion industry’s lucrative position into a powerful tool for social impact.
We believe that the same profits that drive fashion globally can be redirected to change the world, by empowering communities, building creative careers, and creating systems of care and access where they’re needed most.
Rooted in a deep awareness of the exploitative systems that have historically undermined many communities, our mission is to upskill, empower, and reinvest in the very people who drive culture and, creativity forward.
We are committed to:
- Uplift emerging artists by connecting them to the creative and fashion industries through skills development, access, and exposure.
- Champion women’s empowerment, with targeted initiatives around menstrual poverty, leadership, and economic inclusion.
- Provide support for mental health awareness and access to services as a critical part of community well-being.
- Offer food security programs and business development opportunities that encourage long-term self-sufficiency.
- Create platforms for youth to thrive creatively, professionally, and personally.
We invite you to join us in reshaping fashion’s future, where profit meets purpose, and creativity uplifts community.
