The Ife Project
By Adrina Dietra, LLC
Who We Are
Officially launched as a movement during the COVID pandemic—but operating quite long before then, we introduce to you — 'The Ife Project.' {tm}
Ife -- the Yoruba word for 'Love,' and with ties close to my familial roots, seemed to be the perfect name for this community driven initiative. 'The Ife Project' aims to bridge the gap in essential body care, undergarment, and toiletry needs for all genders and age ranges.
The Impact
Between our 2021 launch and now, this tiny operation has gotten nearly $5000 worth of garments, toiletries, and products to folx in need from here in Ithaca, on over to victims of the devastating 2023 wildfires of Hawaii, solely from our Kickstarter and 10% of Ife merch sales!
As of May 2025, we have expanded to donate 10% of EVERY purchase you make with AD towards this endeavor.
What’s Included
We achieve this by providing these donations to key local pantries, shelters, Outreach organizations, and community donation {'Blue'} boxes. We started with organic tampons, pads, liners, and bar soaps in resealable pouches, and have grown to include items such as oral hygiene products, menstrual cups/disks, body care goods, toilet tissue, etc. Toiletry items are discretely packaged in organic cotton pouch kits, and/or our signature luxe packaging, to assist with any insecurities related to menstrual stigma. As we continue to grow, we will include adult incontinence underwear, children’s diapers, etc.
In relation to the underwear, though AD has now branched into donations of menstrual underwear, lounge garments, wired bras of other brands, and more, AD originally started with a simple soft bra and full panty, of its own collection. The projection of colorways from natural dyes that coincide with available botanicals and restaurant waste such as onion skins, avocado pits, coffee grinds, etc. is underway.
We plan to grow to include adult and kid size tank tops, tee shirts, boxers, briefs, boxer briefs, baby onesies, socks, etc.
