Financial Freedom for Women

I’ve been managing the finances of our Artisan community for over fifteen years. I always wanted to be involved as an Artisan and work with ceramics. So two years ago, I began glazing and firing ceramics! Now I oversee production and orders that involve glazing and firing.

Through this Artisan community, I’ve improved my financial status. I feel my communication skills have enhanced too. So, it’s motivated me to stay positive. Being a Trades of Hope Artisan partner has provided an opportunity to make new products and connect with different people – from the raw material collection process to the finished product. One of my favorite moments as an Artisan is when my work was appreciated, and we were given another order for it. I still feel happy thinking about it!
