Job Creation in Areas of Extreme Poverty
This is the single most powerful way we help keep families together & fight human trafficking, because we believe no mother should have to give up her children or sell her body to save them from starvation.

Cooperative Mission
Statistically, a woman rising out of poverty will bring four more people with her. We help empower families & communities out of poverty by empowering women & approximately 20% of our Artisan partners who are men – fathers, brothers, uncles, & sons – working together to provide brighter futures for their families & communities.

Safe Workspaces
In areas of extreme poverty, where vulnerable women are often exploited in sweatshops, our Artisan partners work reasonable hours in safe workspaces, & many choose to work from home.

Artisans determine the price of their products based on what they need to provide for their families’ needs, offer their children brighter futures, build sustainable businesses, & invest in giving back to their local communities. We pay Artisans 100% upfront.
