Impactful Connections

We gather artisans into our community-then we surround and support them with mentors, partners, and resources that equip and empower them.

Inspired Creations

Our artisans handcraft works of art-a restorative process that teaches them skills, instills hope, and ignites their sense of purpose.

Economic Confidence

Artisans are paid upfront for their work emerging as confident contributors to society while gaining momentum toward economic mobility.

There is a story of transformation & hope behind every handmade product.

Our Local & Global-Made Jewelry, Wrap Skirts, Home Decor, Bags & Accessories are:

Ethically Sourced

Handcrafted

Global Reach. Local Impact.
