What if the T-shirt I buy becomes someone’s “first new piece of clothing”? 👕
We buy T-shirts all the time.
Whenever a new season arrives, or whenever I feel like a change of pace, I naturally find myself adding it to my shopping cart.
But somewhere in the world, there are children who have never even owned a single new piece of clothing.
What if, every time we bought a T-shirt, that same number of new clothes were given to children?
Now availableWadiz‘Buy One Give One’ project on Wadiz was created to help make this special occasion a reality.
Buy one, get one free: ‘BOGO’
Under the motto “Buy One Give One,” Kramongis an SPA brand and social platform that promotes ethical consumption in collaboration with talented designers.
Since 2017, we have been making our 10th consecutive donation with the hope of providing new clothes to even more children in countries such as Bangladesh, East Timor, Cambodia, and Mongolia.
Although it wasn’t a large-scale effort, as my charitable activities grew, seeing the children’s joy at receiving new clothes made me want to help “just one more time, just one more person,” and
After thinking about how to get more people involved, they decided to launch a crowdfunding campaignWadiz ‘Wadiz ’.
“I thought there would be many peopleWadizwho would appreciate ethical consumption”: Banuat
The brand Kramong is Wadizintroduces “T-shirts you can wear for a long time,” featuring excellent quality and a comfortable fit,
In the process, we sought to promote the brand’s value of “ethical consumption” to a wider audience of supporters.
Then, in 2020, our first crowdfunding campaign,the “Vanuatu T-Shirt Project,”was launched.
Maker Kramong creates T-shirts and sweatshirts featuring timeless, classic designs, premium materials, and meticulous details—such as herringbone tape to prevent neckline stretching, careful double-stitching, and slits at the hem for ease of movement.
The funding rewards consisted of three options: a Thanksgive short-sleeve T-shirt, a BOGO sweatshirt and T-shirt set, and a mixed-style couple’s set . For every set a supporter funded, an equivalent number of garments were donated to children in Vanuatu.
Also, when supporters left their names, those nicknames were embroidered alongside hearts on the shirts that would be given to the children, making them even more special.
As a result, the project reached 300% of its goal just one day after launching and ultimately achieved 818% of its goal, successfully securing funding.
Afterward, Maker Kramong shared the news of the donation with its supporters via the "News" section Wadiz.
The donated clothing was distributed to children (ages 3–10) in the Republic of Vanuatu, which consists of four large islands and 80 smaller islands, and
These T-shirts are safe products certified with the KC mark, designed to help children play more healthily and energetically.
The maker, Kramong, said that after receiving the T-shirts, the children seemed brighter and more confident, and
After seeing the Korean characters on the clothes, he shared that he returned home feeling a deep sense of pride after seeing children develop a curiosity about Korean culture and the Korean alphabet.
"New Clothes" gave children—who struggle day by day with hard labor in an environment where basic necessities are scarce —the chance to dream of a brighter future, and this heartwarming moment of change was even featured in local news reports.
Once Again, My Heart Heads to the Other Side of the World: The Philippines
🌏 Maker Kramong: “I realized that even a small act of kindness and generosity can mean the world to a child on the other side of the globe. Once I saw the children’s smiles, I knew I couldn’t stop at just one donation.”
The spirit of generosity that began in Vanuatu continued with a new chapter this past March.
This time, the project was for children aged 3 to 13 living in Iba, a small rural village in the Zambales region of the Philippines.
Maker Kkramong and Wadiz have launched another crowdfunding campaign, driven by their desire to bring smiles to many children.
As with our previous funding campaign, for every reward T-shirt purchased, one donation T-shirt.
In response to Maker Kkramong’s desire to share that initial sense of wonder with even more children, Wadiz supporters have once again joined in.
The project was successfully completed with a 173% funding rate, thanks to the participation of many supporters, and
Kramong is currently preparing to deliver T-shirts directly to children in the Iba region of the Philippines.

What the children received was not just “new clothes.”
It also carried the heartfelt support of someone cheering from afar.
Thanks to our supporters' donations, we've brought a warm change to the daily life of a child on the other side of the world.
