Seema’s Story of Hope    “I am happy that I am working with this artisan community. My life has certainly improved while spending my last 14 years here. It has allowed me to give a better education to my children. They want to study further and work. I want to see their dreams fulfilled. I am also happy that I was able to afford a small house of our own. Though it is small, we don’t have to pay the rent. I hope that I can build one more room in the future. Here I can also save some money in a self-help group. Also, we get support for our health.      I am thankful to our partners, Trades of Hope, for providing us with valuable work. It has a positive impact on my life. It is important that we continue to get work to have a better and secure life. I am happy that I am a part of this artisan community!”   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.
