Certainly the acquisition of this gift, from Red Tag to us women, will represent a great support to many people. I am really thrilled," she added.
The note also reports that this action is part of the brand's social responsibility program and "reaffirms its commitment to supporting local communities." "Red Tag directly benefits hundreds of less fortunate families in the village of Camizungo, who daily seek solutions for their subsistence," the statement said.
