Strength in Unity: RISE
In the heart of rural communities, behind the long and often difficult struggles, there’s a powerful force of determination and strength within these women. Every day, they rise, not only for their families but for their own futures, ready to challenge the norms that have held them back for so long. With each piece of work they create — whether it’s a beautiful piece of packaging or a handcrafted accessory — these women are building more than just their livelihood; they’re building their independence.
Their journey is not just about mastering a skill, but about learning, developing, and empowering each other. As they gather together, it’s clear that they are more than colleagues — they are a family. Their shared passion for creating something meaningful for the world unites them. They inspire each other to keep pushing forward, to learn, to grow, and to become the strong, resilient women they’ve always been meant to be.
Through initiatives like I Village, these women are not only developing their craft but are also learning how to present their work to the global community, ensuring that their voices and their talents are heard. Their determination is contagious, encouraging other women to rise and stand up for themselves. These women, despite the challenges they face, are a shining example of what it means to be truly empowered. They’re not just crafting beautiful products — they’re creating a movement.
