Who We Source From

Hands Producing Hope specializes in creating fair trade and ethically made goods, empowering disadvantaged women globally. They firmly believe that consumers hold the power to make a tangible impact through conscious shopping. Collaborating with artisans in Costa Rica, Rwanda, and refugee and immigrant artisans in the USA, they directly impact the lives of women overcoming adversity. Prioritizing sustainability, they source zero waste, local, and sustainable materials whenever feasible. For instance, wall hangings are crafted from reclaimed yarn and fabric, Rwandan baskets from local grasses or upcycled plastic rice sacks, and jewelry incorporates seeds collected by Costa Rican artisan partners. Operating programs in Rwanda, Costa Rica, and Baton Rouge, they offer artisan skills training, maternal health education, adult literacy programs, fair trade artisan work, cooperative formation and training, small business training, and mentoring.
