A BRIGHT FUTURE: OPPORTUNITY

We believe the most valuable role we can play in helping Cambodia rebuild, is by facilitating economic empowerment opportunities for women. One of the largest issues we see in the non-profit model, is that it revolves around hand-outs and dependency. We are taking a new approach to international aid, mixing commerce and philanthropy to create sustainable jobs for women in need. Our goal is to support the employment of as many artisans as possible, in a safe dignified environment, and to get their beautiful designs in homes all across America.
