Leather Traveler Bag

Asha's Story of Hope There are no opportunities in India if you don't have a good education, and all I have is a skill I learned from my mother. My mother taught me basic weaving and braiding. I shaped up this skill and polished it to become a Team Leader in this workshop where today, I have nine women working with me. Our Trades of Hope order came just before the 2-month COVID-19 lockdown in India. A lot of factories didn't pay their workers who had to migrate back on foot to their hometowns. I'm very lucky to work with this Artisan community. Although there was a lockdown, our workshop continued to pay us. We have a light joke about this in our workshop - that Trades of Hope has really given us hope!
