Apolis Activism + Filson = Philanthropist Briefcase


We all want to do our bit to make the world a better place, and what could be better than getting behind The Uganda Product from Apolis Activism.

Apolis believe humanity has a common thread — a common hope for unity, freedom, and sustainability. Apolis creates opportunities for developing economies by connecting them to the global marketplace through seasonal stories and products.

Four hundred units of the Philanthropist Briefcase allows the Uganda project to utilize three farmer’s entire yield of cotton for one year. Early results of building a developing industry by providing opportunity through jobs instead of offering charity with donations.

The Ugandan project also features a Field Tote and a Philanthropist tote. Other projects include a market bag from Bangladesh and cashmere clothing from Nepal.
