AFROSTYLE SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT
Living in connection, strengthening communities.
At AFROSTYLE, social engagement is not an option, but the heart of our identity. Deeply rooted in the African Ubuntu philosophy, we believe: "I am because we are."
This means we think beyond products and profit and actively commit ourselves to the well-being of communities. With compassion, respect, and solidarity, we promote human values and strengthen social bonds – for a world where every individual counts and community flourishes. AFROSTYLE: Where style meets social responsibility.
Taking responsibility, strengthening community
For us, beauty and care mean more than just products – it’s about solidarity, empowerment, and mutual support. Through our social commitment, we specifically foster associations, initiatives, and local projects that drive positive change in our community. Find out which passion projects we are actively supporting and how we are growing together.
Our social commitment: Achieving more together
For us, people and community are at the heart of everything we do. We are convinced that sustainable success is only meaningful if you give something back to society. That is why we are actively committed to social projects, equal opportunities, and the cohesion of our community.
Supported clubs and partnerships with heart
Whether educational initiatives, family networks, or local cultural and sports clubs: we work hand in hand with organizations that are passionately committed to the common good every day.
- Support for clubs & talent: Targeted assistance through fundraising campaigns, partnerships, and event sponsorships.
- Empowerment & safe spaces: Strengthening platforms and initiatives that live and promote diversity and inclusion.
- Active solidarity: A portion of our commitment flows directly into projects that make a tangible difference locally.
We support mixed children of color – and their parents, grandparents, teachers and caregivers, many of whom are white.
2Roots – Association for Support Persons of Mixed Kids of Color
2Roots is a non-profit organization for mixed kids of color and the people who support them. We empower children and young people in their identity – with workshops, exchange formats, and community events focused on hair, belonging, and resilience.
2Roots was founded in Basel in 2024 by Osira Wanner, a white mother of two mixed-race children of color and a complementary therapist. The starting point was simple: Many children grow up in families where no one has the same hair as they do. And many parents want to support their children well, but don't know how.
This has become a community that brings both together: a space for the children, in which their hair, their skin color, and their story are taken for granted. And a space for parents and caregivers, where they can ask questions, learn, and network.
Our formats: Empowerment Days for kids and teens (for example, the Hair Love Atelier on November 22, 2026, at Union Basel), online and offline exchange for parents, a library of children's books, dialogue games for families and schools, and a WhatsApp community. In addition, there are awareness-raising offers for schools, daycares, and professionals.

Football out of passion
FC Gossau
Football club in Gossau with great passion. Teams from children's football to seniors for men and women.
FC Gossau, founded in 1906, only really began to attract attention in Swiss football over the last 30 years, when it was promoted to the 1st League for the first time in its history with a 3-0 victory against Widnau in 1971, and even played for three years between 1975 and 1978 in the Nationalliga B, which at the time consisted of 14 clubs. Since then, there have been years of mixed fortunes, during which the team from the Fürstenland metropolis has for the most part fluctuated between the 1st and 2nd League.
