We are happy to join people around the world celebrating International Women’s Day March 8.
On this day, we particularly salute women artists who open doors to economic opportunity, preserve culture and foster creativity and community development. Artisan enterprise today is the second largest employer after agriculture in the developing world, and, as Threads shows, the work of artisans can have a ripple effect, positively impacting the lives of generations.
We encourage everyone to think about handmade goods when making consumer choices and to support living artists whenever possible. We believe that a world without poverty is possible, and that each of us can make a difference toward this goal.
Surayia and the women she worked with share their skills and together create timeless art. With creativity and determination, they feed and educate their children. We salute their accomplishments.
