The Anchor of Hope Box artisans are like many
of us - looking to feel empowered and provide a livelihood for ourselves and
our families. Adrienne meets
monthly with a group of local women, teaching them a new skill every month and
paying them for their hard work. She also scours the globe looking for other
organizations doing the exact same thing so they can be included in the box as
well.
Some of these artisans are survivors of sex
trafficking in India and Asia.
Some are women in Haiti that desperately need work in order to keep their
daughters in school -- the best way to keep them from being kidnapped and
trafficked. Some are organizations that teach refugee women -- relocated to the
US -- the skill of sewing or jewelry making so they can provide for their
families. By supporting these vulnerable artisans, you become a giver of
hope and sustainability, breaking lifelong cycles of poverty and giving dignity
and the opportunity for healing.
Each month, you will be surprised with three quality,
handmade jewelry, accessories, home goods, ceramics, artwork, or exotic spices.
One of the items each month is created by the women she teaches locally, and
the other two items are sourced from other organizations working with
marginalized women worldwide.
