Kristin Sanford - Trades of Hope

Trades of Hope sells handmade goods as fair trade for women who would otherwise have no resources or marketing to do so. To read more about this business method, follow this link: http://www.tradesofhope.com/-about-fair-trade.html

So many women live in poverty, not because they lack abilities, but because they lack opportunity. Trades of Hope was started to give women that opportunity for a better life. Each woman has a story, and with Trades of Hope's help, their story has changed from pain and struggle to a story of HOPE! Trades of Hope works with the artisans themselves and organizations that are helping women in difficult circumstances. Some women have been rescued from sex slavery. Others are raising handicapped children alone. Some are in war torn countries and others have aids and leprosy. These women have never had the chances we've had, yet they are just like us in so many ways. They love their families and hope and dream of a better life for them. Trades of Hope is also helping by marketing their products through the home party model, so they can put food on their table, a roof over their head, get medical care and an education for their children. If you are interested in hosting one of these parties (in person or an online one), please message me! I'd love to talk to you more about it.
