About Gifts of Hope:
Trades of Hope’s commitment to create change for women, children and families through sustainable business is not only represented by our Partners selling beautiful Artisan products, but it can also be found in our Gifts of Hope program! Since we began in 2010, Trades of Hope has honored our commitment to give back at least 10% of net profits from our product sales to communities and organizations with our specific mission in mind. We partner with many organizations and directly with Artisan community leaders to provide resources, education, start-up materials, and support for women and families to build their own future in many impoverished areas of the world, as well as here in the US at the local and national level. We work alongside these organizations to offer opportunities that will bring about long-term change in the lives of these families!
