The America Collection was born out of the Ace of Good mission to serve the children of our Military Families in the USA who are living below the poverty line and cannot afford school supplies for their children. The sequester and the recent government shut down has further adversely affected our Military Families. At Ace of Good we knew that our upcoming deliveries to Military Bases in the US would require a special collection: a backpack and messenger bag made in the USA. A bag that not only provides Great American Style, but also provided American jobs, and is sustainably produced, helping to realize positive social, economic and environmental change.

Educating Children
The UN estimates that 120 million children are denied an
education every year, many due to their inability to afford school
supplies or fees. Education is the key to fighting poverty, hunger,
disease, terrorism, global warming, you name it: almost every
problem can be addressed through education.
It all started one day on the outskirts of Phnom Penh at the
foot of a massive garbage dump. The scorching Cambodian sun backlit
the plastic bags that were being carried by small children as they
scavenged through garbage for something to eat or sell .As we stood
and watched the smell was overwhelming and bits of garbage blew
through the air getting stuck in our hair and eyelashes burning our
eyes. This was these childrens every day reality.
Our Story
Empowering WomenWhen the Ace of Good makes our delivery trips,
instead of bringing backpacks from the United States, we source
them locally through our womens empowerment programs. We sponsor
free seamstress job-skills training and then offer our graduates
employment to sew our backpacks. Our program offers women an
opportunity for financial independence, eases poverty in their
community, and crates beautifully made backpacks for children in
need.
Donate money to charity
For every backpack you buy, we deliver another backpack, filled
with school supplies, to a child in need around the world. If you
want to keep giving, additional backpacks can be sent to children
in need for $25.00 each.
Why Give?There are 120 million children around the world who are
being denied an education because they cant afford school supplies.
Your gift will allow them to attend school.
