Welcome

Art for hope is a social business that supports marginalized women through handcrafting.

We offer carefully produced handicrafts that provide a fair income for the producer while you receive a unique and functional product or a gift for your family or friends. 

Our products are with modern design using authentic patterns, handcrafted with traditional techniques and produced with locally sourced materials.

Every product sold means a fair pay and a hope for a better life for the creator.
