Support Our Cause by Shopping for a Purpose

Why Choose OWD?

Welcome to the Opportunities without Discrimination (OWD) Online Shop! At OWD, we believe in the power of individuality and the strength of diversity. Our journey began in Turanganui A Kiwi Gisborne, New Zealand, where the Tairawhiti Multicultural Council's founder accidentally wore mismatched socks to a traditional Maori powhiri ceremony. What started as a simple fashion mishap quickly captured the attention and imagination of those around him. Inspired by this unexpected moment, we embraced the concept of wearing odd and interesting pairs of socks as a vibrant symbol of inclusion, diversity, and the ongoing fight against inequality. Through our #owdsocks social movement, we invite you to join us in promoting a world where every individual is celebrated for their uniqueness. Each pair of our socks tells a story—a story of community, culture, and the shared vision of a more equitable future. By choosing OWD socks and merchandise, you're not just making a fashion statement; you're actively contributing to social change. Every purchase you make supports a range of vital diversity, inclusion, and charitable projects across Gisborne, India, Fiji, Indonesia, and other low and middle-income countries. Our initiatives aim to uplift communities, promote understanding, and foster environments where everyone can thrive. When you wear OWD socks, you're standing up for what you believe in—creating an inclusive world, one odd sock at a time. Together, we can make a meaningful impact, transforming lives and breaking down barriers. Explore our collection today and become a part of the OWD movement! Remember, every pair you purchase helps fund current and future projects that make a difference. Thank you for supporting our mission and for adding your unique voice to our vibrant community.
