What started as a 7-year-old’s desire to do something about the palm oil crisis plaguing orangutan habitats has turned into a fully scalable nonprofit called Purses for Primates that has raised over $27,000, to protect orangutans and their shrinking habitat. Allison is also a Barron Prize winner, and collects gently-used handbags from across the U.S., resells them at fundraising events, and donates 100% of the proceeds to Orangutan Outreach, a New York City-based conservation group.
She is a founding member of the group’s extensive children’s program, Forest School 101, and serves as the program’s current ambassador. “Orangutans have such an intelligent mind. They teach each other and grow together,” she tells Teen Vogue. “I have and always will feel personally responsible to try my best to rally as many people as I can to help save these creatures.” She attributes much of her success, though, to her BFF, Natalie Katsikas, who stuck by her side over the past 11 years while other friends faded away or called her efforts “dorky.”
