  • Give a holiday gift, change a life!

    Brrrrr! It's getting cold, and the holidays are quickly descending upon us! Keep us in mind if you are looking to give a stunning gift that also empowers an Afghani woman with a job that could not exist without your help.

    In good news, our new scarf inventory should be posted to our new website within one week, and we will be featuring shipping specials with the grand release of our new-and-improved website! "Like" us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter for the latest and greatest.

    As always, we thank you for your support. With you, we are able to help hundreds of women in Afghanistan, Kenya, and Haiti.

Whether we're in Afghanistan, Haiti, Kenya or back home in the US, empowerment is more than just a word we throw around...it's the future.
