Help Empower Women in Guatemala by Supporting Friendship Bridge

 

Friendship Bridge is a nonprofit social enterprise creating opportunities that empower women in Guatemala to build a better life. 

 

Friendship Bridge’s artisan program, Handmade by Friendship Bridge, features products that are handmade by artisan clients in Guatemala, who are among the poorest segment of women in the country. By creating an opportunity to sell their products online, these clients are empowered to improve their livelihoods and help alleviate the effects of poverty.

 

Id like to extend to you the opportunity to support a great cause by asking you to consider giving these beautiful handmade gifts to your loved ones this holiday season. I was sent a gorgeous handmade Tikal Tote Bag and it is so beautiful. Check out this video highlighting its details:
