About Jacob's Scarves

Jacob is a four-year-old boy I came to know while I was teaching English in Zhongshan, China. His parents cut jeans for a living, making a pittance for hours upon hours of tedious, tiring labor. Only one boy in Zhongshan’s teeming mass of millions, Jacob is burdened with anonymity, hopelessness, and poverty.

When I met him, I immediately fell in love, who wouldn't with his contagious smile? I knew I needed to help him. I also knew that the English language was a key that can help him and others rise above their circumstances and build a meaningful, successful life.

So, I started Jacob’s Scarves. We are a for-profit company with a philanthropic mission. We sell high quality, high-fashion scarves to pay Jacob’s tuition at a top-tier English-speaking school.

Jacob’s Scarves was started for Jacob, but my dream is to build it to fund the education of more and more students of all ages as time goes on. Scarves are so immensely popular worldwide, what if purchasing a scarf could become more than a fashion statement? Jacob’s Scarves aims to make this simple, timeless accessory into a symbol of support for educational opportunity.
