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. During Covid, a lot of factories didn’t pay their workers who had to migrate back on foot to their hometowns, but Trades of Hope orders came in during that time. 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!"

The poverty cycle in India continues primarily because of the lack of education and essential resources that are often not available or affordable for children in India’s slums. Many of these children never learn to read or write and grow up with limited opportunities. Many families in India’s slums have limited or no access to health care or clean water. Your purchase helps provide Artisans in areas of extreme poverty and their children with access to education, health care, and clean water programs. Every purchase gives hope to families in India’s slums. Purchase this journal and empower a woman in India!
