Christmas Raffle!

Starting, Monday December 16th, a raffle will begin! The next 25 book orders will be entered into a drawing for a beautifully handcrafted necklace designed by survivors of South Asia. 

Survivors in our Asia Artisan group create most of our handcrafted metal jewelry. Each woman begins on the production line, receiving on-the-job training in jewelry production. Based on each woman's individual interests and gifting, she can then be trained in other roles including photography, design, sourcing, quality control, inventory management, administration and other management positions. Additionally, each woman has the opportunity to join our training program with classes in computer, literacy, math, life skills and health. Every woman has the opportunity to earn certification in Microsoft Word and Excel. Depending on her interests and her personal growth plan, she can choose to pursue additional training in English, entrepreneurship, accounting, photography, graphic design and even banking. The goal of the training program is to offer women the freedom to choose a career path they are passionate about and can be proud of. On average, each piece of jewelry gives 45 minutes of dignified work to the artisan.
