The thoughtfully designed Sevenly ‘Unite for Africa’ campaign shirt knocks it out of the park this week with its creative and colorful message. Sevenly’s weekly causes are an inspirational example of life-changing [social business](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zigzag-and-the-salvation-army). With $7 donated from each of their shirts, 21 meals are provided to starving children in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

Their Unite for Africa shirt this week, coming in a variety of styles and colors for women, men and children, is formed into the shape of the continent of Africa itself for a memorable look. The campaign video asks its viewers whether they can even begin to imagine if they couldn’t remember the last time they had a meal. Their campaign shirts are limited edition, so get yours now to contribute and rock the look.
