Product We Heart: Falling Whistle

Falling Whistle is a campaign for peace in Congo. They sell whistles that are usually used with child soldiers in Congo to spread the word and "blow the whistle" on the war taking place there.

From the Falling Whistle website:

Falling Whistles gives a small window into our world’s largest war. Originally just a journal written about boys sent to the frontlines of war armed with only a whistle, readers forwarded it with the same kind of urgency in which it was written and demanded to know –

What can we do?

The Falling Whistles campaign launched with a simple response – make their weapon your voice and be a whistleblower for peace in Congo. Read the story and buy the whistle. Proceeds go to rehabilitate and advocate for war-affected children. Share their story and speak up for them.

Together, we’ll become the voice of a growing coalition for peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

100% of the proceeds go directly to rehabilitate war-affected children and to advocate for their freedom.

On top of all of the great things Falling Whistle is doing, they have made the whistles beautiful. Each shiny whistle is on a necklace. There are four different styles of whistle. Our favorites are the Original ($34) and the Brushed ($44).

We love products that tell a story and do great things for people. And we love them even more when they are pretty! These whistles would make great presents because they give twice.

Happy Friday!
