Vandana’s Story of Hope    When she was a little girl, Vandana began cleaning 3 houses a day to support her family facing extreme poverty in India. Even as a child, she wondered when this life with no dignity would be over. But everything changed when she married an Artisan and started going to work with him. She learned the craft of woodworking and could stop working in other people’s homes. Now, with a living wage, she can provide for her two sons and can provide food for her family. She enjoys cooking and says, "Why waste money when I can cook better than the restaurants?" Your order creates opportunities for women like Vandana to leave lives of oppression and provide for their families.
