Darkhaha’s Story of Hope   Darkhaha grew up in a small town in northern India. In her community, most parents encourage their daughters to drop out of school early and marry young. Because of her family’s traditional views of women, she was only allowed to attend school for nine years. Despite her local culture’s resistance to women working, Darkhaha discovered a local Artisan community where she could earn an income weaving scarves at home.    Determined to help her younger sister overcome her culture’s discrimination against women and finish school, Darkhaha continued to weave 6 – 8 scarves a day to purchase a mobile phone for her sister, so she could take classes online. Every purchase of our Golden Woven Scarf empowers a woman in India, like Darkhaha, to overcome discrimination and become financially independent. Rosaura's Story of Hope "I learned how to make jewelry as a hobby when I was twelve years old. When American outreach teams came to build homes, I would participate in workshops with jewelry designers. I found my passion! I love designing jewelry! Before I became an Artisan, my life was very different. A few years ago, I had a problem with depression and felt that I had no friends. I was always isolated and did not talk to anyone about it. But today, I've overcome my fears. Now, I can be confident and make plans for my life and learn new things. Becoming an Artisan has also helped me to fulfill my dreams of studying, since my family is very poor and I'm one of five children. In my future, I hope to finish my studies, become a professional, and have my own business." Babli's Story of Hope Babli lives in an area of extreme poverty in India where vulnerable women are often exploited in sweatshops with unfair wages, unreasonable hours, and unsafe workspaces. As an Artisan in this workshop, she can earn fair wages working reasonable hours in a safe workspace. The income she earns as an Artisan is empowering her to lead her family out of poverty.
