The stunning beauty is also the founder of a textile waste reduction project ‘Jeans for Teens’. She started the project in high school with the original purpose of collecting quality, trendy and fashionable denim that teenagers could wear with pride after noticing that teenagers did not receive many donations. Savannah believes that helping people and helping our planet work best a common goal.

Savannah’s project Jeans for Teens also takes production waste into account by partnering with two denim companies, Billiam Jeans and Raleigh Denim Workshop who have donated all of their scraps left over from the production of their Blue Jeans. She is definitely an example for all the girls who wish to do something meaningful in their lives.
