Trades of Hope Fall 2015 Catalog

Women around the world live in slums, work in sweatshops, and are victims of the sex trade. These women don’t want charity. They want an opportunity.

Trades of Hope offers the opportunity to improve their own and their children’s lives by marketing their handmade products.

Welcome to trades of hope Poverty is the root of so many problems. Slavery and sex trafficking happen all over the world. Mothers are forced to give up their children to orphanages. Other parents watch their children die from starvation or simple fevers.

The good news is that job creation is a great solution. In 2010, we had an idea—to create a business that would empower and give jobs to women around the world.

We want every mother to be able to break the cycle of poverty—for herself and her children. Parents who are working can provide basic necessities, support, and protection for families.

At Trades of Hope, we say that we aren’t in this business to sell bracelets. We go to work each day to change lives for the better. Our mission is to empower women to be the heroes of their own stories. Our dream has come true. Thank you for being a part of eradicating poverty in the world!

Holly, Chelsie, Elisabeth & Gretchen

Vision Trips Do you want to make a difference in the world and in your own life? Trades of Hope gives you the opportunity to earn an income while selling beautiful, fairly traded products made by women in need around the globe. Become a Trades of Hope Compassionate Entrepreneur (CE) and you become more than a successful business woman—you help other women become successful, too!

Recently, a group of CEs traveled with our founders to Guatemala and Costa Rica where they met several of our artisans— women whose lives and families have been changed by the opportunity Trades of Hope offers them. In Costa Rica, the travelers visited the group that makes our Eternal Seed Necklace and the Costa Wrap, Honey Bee, Rainforest Wrap, and Survivor bracelets (pages 5-6). In Guatemala, the group visited Casa Hogar, the foster home where girls of working age make—and are the fingerprints behind—the Identity Bracelet and the Julia Necklace (page 7).

The friendships formed, the stories shared, and the bonds created between the artisans and the Trades of Hope group are ones that have enriched and blessed the lives of both.

To hear from CEs about their experience with Trades of Hope, look for their quotes and photos throughout these pages.

from haiti, with Love In Haiti, where poverty runs rampant and women struggle to raise their families, women are learning valuable life skills—to read and write, to sew, to make jewelry, to cook, and ultimately to run their own businesses. This artisan ministry also supports a maternity center, where pregnant Haitian women can give birth in safety and learn maternal health.

Beading for life A mother of four, Lillian says she used to pick through garbage bins in hopes of finding food for her children.

She joined a beading circle (see Kisses from Katie, opposite) where she and others earn money, share about the Bible, praises, and prayer requests. “I have even built a house from the income I received and I really praise God for that,” she says.

Each necklace is unique and varies greatly in color!

Once a week, Katie goes to the slum community of Masese, Uganda, to meet with the women of a mother’s beading circle. She builds relationships with the women, leads them in a Bible study, and purchases their necklaces—beautiful, brightly colored beads made from paper and strung into long unique strings. She also assists in giving them money management training. More than 30 women are now able to feed their families, send their children to school, purchase plots of land, and build homes. Money received from the sale of the necklaces also funds a feeding program in Masese that serves more than 1,200 children each weekday. This self-sustaining vocational program gives hope and a future for families in this Uganda community.

establish a school so that parents in their poor community won’t have to choose between providing basic needs for their families and an education for their children.

family ties In India, families suffer because of the lack of jobs. One artisan group is changing the cycle of poverty by not focusing solely on the artisan, but on each artisan’s entire family. Women are able to work from home, which allows them to provide for their families and care for their children at the same time.

In Vietnam, two social workers wanting to improve the lives of street children and single mothers in Ho Chi Minh City and ethnic minorities in mountain villages started an artisan group.

Many of the artisans, who make products like our Paper Angels, left, are able to work at home or in small workshops instead of seeking work in Vietnam’s factory industries.

A trio of angels crafted from rolled strips of paper (see artisans at work, right) that are shaped and glued to create filigree designs stand 4.25 inches tall and hang from red string.
