Welcome Back!
People of Hope Crafts wanted to re-invite you to our blog. We have been gone for some time but will now be updating the blog with information about our artisans, craft fairs we will be attending and important topics that relate to the artisans lives in El Salvador.
To begin, we want to reintroduce ourselves so our readers have a better understand of who we are as an organization. People of Hope Crafts is a non-profit organization that offers sustainable community development in El Salvador through craft purchases in the United States.
How it Works!
People of Hope Crafts has been around for 20 plus years and has developed lasting relationships with 15 communities in El Salvador. We implemented our program just after the end of the relentless civil war in order to offer these communities a sense of hope for their futures. We have helped these communities establish safe and healthy workplaces where they create beautiful crafts.
The artisans we help support already had natural talent and lots of creativity, but they needed a place to sell their goods. People of Hope Crafts offered them this place by providing them with a market in the United States, which helped to ensure their success as artisans.
People of Hope Crafts offers online sales and participates in craft fairs where we sell the artisan’s unique crafts. By providing this international outlet for the artisans, we offer beautiful crafts to Americans, while also providing the artisans with a self-sustaining livelihood that they have struggled to gain since the civil war.
These beautiful crafts reflect the history, culture and struggle of the El Salvadoran people and will bless your home, workplace, school or church with the message of hope conveyed through their art.
Thanks for joining us and helping our 15 artisan communities succeed through fair trade.
Next week we will discuss our partner Project Salvador as they celebrate their 25th anniversary as a non-profit!!!
