Needing to provide food, shelter, clothing, and education for her three children, Olivia began working as an Artisan eight years ago, while living in a tent. As a single mother in Haiti, her work has provided her family with safe housing and the security of knowing they will have plenty of food to eat and opportunities for education. As she molds and shapes each piece of clay, Olivia is also molding and shaping a better future for herself and her children.
Nan Aye Myint, nicknamed "A", is a Thai Artisan, and one of the many women who will be empowered when you host your party. She shares her story with us, "Two years ago, I began making bags, and my life changed. I had no idea how to sew when I first started, but now I can do bags with zippers and do handmade decorations such as tassels and pom-poms. My life is much better now because I have enough money to eat well and have good friends in the company. I thank Trades of Hope for this new lifestyle I now have."
