It’s time to work together towards a Disaster Resilient World… a global community that watches out for each other when disasters strike. Get Compassion and show the world that you care…
not only about creating jobs in disaster zones…
not only in helping children survivors…
but that you also believe that at this moment we must have each other’s back!
TACLOB is a collective of artists, designers, social workers, and entrepreneurs that have partnered with survivors and businessmen in disaster zones to establish a social enterprise dedicated in providing immediate jobs for disaster survivors.
As a first initiative they will be training survivors to make “eco-friendly” and “disaster resilient” bags that they themselves appreciate and the rest of the world would want to have.
Meet COMPASSION
COMPASSION is an iconic, bright red, 50% upcycled, weather-resistant backpack which is made of:
Pre-Loved Jeans
Hi-Grade Japanese Truck Tarpaulins
Genuine YKK Zippers
Military-Grade Nylon Thread for all Stitching
Stylish Leather Lash Tabs
This assures you that with all these intricate elements put into the making of this bag… COMPASSION will endure your lifestyle.
But aside from these details… what excites us about COMPASSION is the functionality of it’s interior jeans lining/large pocket which can snugly fit a 13″ Macbook or any standard folder.
Yes, this bag does not only look good but it is very functional and handy as well… but more importantly, COMPASSION is not just a bag… it’s a badge!
Get COMPASSION. Give COURAGE.
Yes, when you get a COMPASSION backpack you help in creating immediate and much needed jobs for Haiyan survivors. But COMPASSION does not stop there…
For every COMPASSION bag that you get, Taclob will give a Haiyan child survivor a specially designed backpack that will prepare them in case of an emergency like a tsunami, storm surge and tidal waves!
Meet COURAGE
COURAGE is a multi-functional survival backpack that will equip young children to float!!!
Masterfully designed by a team of bag makers and designers, this backpack utilizes 2 empty two-liter PET bottles strapped to the side of the bag to enable a child to float.
Constructed with high-density, water resistant nylon fabric, it is double stitched with military-grade nylon thread to ensure its longevity. We’ve also included reflective striping on the front and back that enhances visibility at night, or in times of search and rescue operations.
Everyone we’ve introduced the COURAGE backpack to is very excited about the bag. Especially the school officials, parents, and child survivors!
COURAGE not only gives them a fighting chance in any case of emergency, it also helps address a deep emotional trauma of uncertainty that is still haunting children to this day.
