teaming up with Trades of Hope!
help us change the world.
I am so excited to announce that I am teaming up with Trades of Hope, a fair trade home party company dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty by helping women around the world build sustainable business. TOH rescues women from the sex trade, the slums, sweat shops, and extreme poverty by working with them and the organizations who help them to sell their fair trade products. TOH is changing lives, domestically and internationally, every single day.
The women behind the scenes of the company and the artisans from around the world are amazing. Nothing I could say here would do any of them or the mission of the company justice. To give you a little better picture of what they do, I've copied an excerpt from their website:
So many women live in poverty, not because they lack abilities but
because they lack opportunity. We started Trades of Hope to give them
that opportunity for a better life. Each woman has a story and with
Trades of Hope's help their story has changed from pain and struggle to a
story of HOPE!
We work with the Artisans themselves and organizations that are helping women in difficult circumstances. Some women have been rescued from sex slavery. Others are raising handicapped children alone. Some are in war torn countries and others have aids and leprosy. These women have never had the chances we've had, yet they are just like us in so many ways. They love their families and hope and dream of a better life for them.
We are helping by marketing their hand-made products through the home party model so they can put food on their table, a roof over their head and get medical care and an education for their children. We want to tell their stories to the world!
