Wearable statistics

StatAttack has designed a compelling series of T-shirts illustrating life expectancy, poverty rates, and other alarming statistics in a handful of African countries. Twenty percent of T-shirt proceeds go toward financing the building of an orphanage in Mozambique. (Via Brand Appeal.)

Thanks for sharing this. I'm adopting from Ethiopia and there are some pretty horrid statistics there as well. I am off to share this on my adoption blog, then email StatAttak and ask them to design an Ethiopia shirt as well.

Thanks Jess (and I love your blog - can't ever get enough of it!)
