Meet the Artisan: Pinky’s Story of Hope

“When I lost my husband, my in-laws were not supportive to me and my two children. We had to move in with my parents and I was not able to send my children to school. I would often have to ask my husband’s family for money. I began looking for a job to become self-reliant and provide for my children.  

Now that I am self-reliant, I can fulfill my children’s needs on my own. I am very happy because my children are fed, attending school, my work environment is very good, and my coworkers are encouraging and helpful to me. 

Thank you to all the people purchasing our products. I want to be given a lot of work so our artisan community can employ even more women that are able to better themselves and help their families.”

Meet the Artisan: Yuyu’s Story of Hope

On her first day, YuYu, a former brothel boss arrived almost an hour early in the morning because she didn’t want to be late for work. As she began our onboarding process and learned about our company’s mission, vision and values, YuYu cried. On her second day here, YuYu asked if she could introduce us to the other women who used to work in her brothel so they could come to our artisan community too. We hope her enthusiasm about the opportunities here will influence the women she previously employed.
