Committed to enhancing the lives of women and children in developing countries, JL Lane donates yearly to Plan International, and other international outreach organizations. With these partnerships, JL Lane is working to develop ways to offer women and communities sustainable livelihoods.

As an example, JL Lane has partnered with Plan Vietnam to provide steady income for women in poor areas of Vietnam through embroidery projects in their home communes. Plan targets the poorest communes around the large city of Hanoi, Vietnam, then, taking the poorest women in each commune, pays for their embroidery training. This training period, which takes place in their community, lasts 2 months, after which the women are able to do their daily embroidering from their homes where they can be with their families. Once these women have acquired the necessary skills to embroider on their own, Plan moves on to other villages that require more focused attention. With Plan's training and JL Lane's designs, these women, once poor and unsure about their future, are now empowered to create beautiful works of art while raising and supporting a family.
