About me as an author

Project Três

Empreendedora social e fundadora do Project Três, uma iniciativa que já empoderou mais de 90 mulheres na Índia e no Quênia, Carla usou seus desafios pessoais e questionamentos sobre a cadeia produtiva da indústria da moda como gatilho para iniciar sua jornada com o projeto.

Background

Education

I'm a graduated fashion designer, working with social impact and women empowerment at the moment.

Work experience

I worked as a fashion designer for 6 years in Brazil. After this time, I realized I would still do something else with my life. First I would like to learn English, so I went to San Diego and volunteered in a hostel. After more than a year in the US, I got to the idea of Project Três: a women empowerment project, that teaches handcraft skills to women living in extreme vulnerability, aiming to create them sustainable jobs. Project Três was founded in 2016 in India and now we work in Kenya as well, with a total of 35 women receiving sustainable jobs, over 100 kids impacted by the project, and that's just the beginning.

Travel experience

I'm from Brazil, and I already have been to Argentina, Mexico and lived at ITH Hostels in San Diego, USA. In the US, I went to Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Los Angeles, to the festival Coachella, Hawaii. I moved for 2 years to India, where I went from North to South, going to Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia during that time. Last year I lived 3 months in Kenya and currently, I live in Berlin, Germany.
