Whitney Port helps Rwandan women


Ya know, at least when Whitney Port wants some press, she doesn't follow in the footsteps of her Hills co-stars the Douchiest Douchebags Heidi and Spencer. Those two flakes only want press that benefit themselves, and even if Whitney is doing this for press, at least it's a goodwill sort of deal. She's helping Rwandan women provide for themselves and their children by teaming up with Rwanda Community Works to make and distribute handmade scarves through her Whitney Eve fashion line. She blogged about helping out the women.

This process allowed the women to not only have careers, but help in creating a sustainable economy in their villages as well. All the proceeds go to these very women so they can live a healthy life and be able to provide such things as health insurance for their families -- something we all take for granted.

'Tis the season of giving, my friends. Whitney is not on the naughty list this year.
