We decided to take fabric destined for landfills and upcycle it to everyday products. Women learn the sewing skills to take reused fabrics from raw materials to fashionable goods. And along the way, woman gain their independence.
Since 2002 we have believed in giving a new purpose to materials that would have been thrown away. Future generations deserve a planet that is healthy and teeming with life.
Giving a newcomer woman the skills to become a master seamstress teaches them how to take unwanted fabric and create something beautiful. A skill they can use to support their families.
We are showing the world a better, more inclusive way to conduct business. A team of women working together in a supportive community can become business giants.
