Extra Assistance to Artisan Groups In addition to supporting groups with fair trade product orders, Mercy House Global has also been able to come alongside and assist with guidance, encouraging lessons that we’ve learned, collaboration through partnerships, and finances in times of crisis. This past year, we sent funds to India towards Covid recovery, to Ethiopia to help provide food for artisans during their civil unrest, to Afghanistan as an offering to the Underground Church, to Malawi to repair three hundred water wells, and to Thailand to provide ongoing financial support and encouragement to Many Hands. Many Hands is working to bring artisan-made product to the marketplace as a Gospel-driven initiative.
