Farofa Nation is a small T-shirt company founded two years ago by art directors Serge and Ana Castagna to raise money for TASK (The Abandoned Street Kids of Brazil Trust), which supports efforts to curb youth homelessness in Brazil. Named after farofa, a popular Brazilian dish made of toasted yucca root and a blend of spices that reflects the eclectic melting pot that is Brazilian culture, the Castagnas started the company after seeing the intense poverty and alarming conditions that many children live in on the streets of Rio de Janeiro. The debut collection, which includes 15 designs, is now available online and includes graphic prints  that are silk screened on sweatshop-free American Apparel tees. They come in a range of bright colors and designs moderately priced at $26. Ten percent of all sales will directly benefit TASK's efforts to secure housing and provide safe environments for abandoned children in need.
