In the heart of every home adorned with antiques, there lies a story—a narrative of history, artistry, and a journey through time. At Slongo Antiques, these stories are our currency, the very essence of our collection. However, our mission extends far beyond preserving the past. With each purchase, Slongo Antiques champions a future where history and humanity converge, supporting global philanthropy and making a tangible difference in the world. This is the story of how your love for antiques becomes a catalyst for change.
The Mission Behind the Antiques
Founded on the principle that beauty and benevolence should walk hand in hand, Slongo Antiques has always been more than just a store. It’s a movement. Celina Slongo, our founder, envisioned a platform where every transaction is an opportunity for giving. Driven by her passion for antiques and a deep-seated desire to impact the world positively, Celina embarked on a journey to transform this vision into reality.
A Partnership for Change
At the core of Slongo Antiques’ philanthropic mission is our partnership with a select group of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) committed to making a difference in various sectors: from education and health to environmental conservation and humanitarian aid. We meticulously vet these organizations to ensure that the funds contributed make the maximum impact.
How It Works
For every antique purchased at Slongo Antiques, a significant portion of the proceeds is earmarked for donation to one of our partner NGOs. This isn’t a mere percentage of profits but a substantial share of the sale price, ensuring that every purchase contributes directly and meaningfully to our philanthropic goals.
The Impact of Your Purchase
What does this mean for you, our valued patrons? It means that every time you choose to add a piece from our collection to your home, you’re not just acquiring an object of beauty and history. You’re also making a choice to support vital causes around the globe. Here are just a few ways your purchases have made a difference:
- Education for All: From building schools in underprivileged areas to providing scholarships for talented students, your purchases help light the lamp of education in dark corners of the world.
- Healthcare Initiatives: Contributions have supported healthcare programs, including mobile clinics, vaccination drives, and mental health services in communities lacking access to essential health services.
- Environmental Conservation: Funds have gone towards reforestation projects, wildlife conservation efforts, and initiatives aimed at combating climate change, preserving our planet for future generations.
- Humanitarian Aid: In times of crisis, be it natural disasters or conflicts, your purchases have helped provide relief materials, shelter, and support to affected populations.
