Yu Yu, Artisan in East Asia
"On her first day, YuYu, a former brothel boss arrived almost an hour early in the morning because she didn't want to be late for work. As she began our onboarding process and learned about our company’s mission, vision and values, YuYu cried. On her second day here, YuYu asked if she could introduce us to the other women who used to work in her brothel so they could come to our artisan community too."
Clivia, Artisan in Haiti
"I was raised in one of the most dangerous areas in Port-au-Prince. I cannot imagine what life would be like without my work. I would have to depend on the help of others. I love when I hear there are new orders and that I'm able to come to work the next day! Trades of Hope and this Artisan community have helped by providing jobs."
Mosmeen, Artisan in India
"I was married off at a very young age to a man from another village. Years later, my husband deserted me. Now, I have dignity and economic security. All three of my children can go to school, and I’m also able to support other female Artisans in my village."
