HANDS UP NOT HANDOUTS partners with women of the world in the design, production and marketing of unique, one-of-a-kind goods using handicraft techniques. We revise technology using traditional skills and turn them into something with more universal appeal in the global market place. For example, our first collections feature beautiful hand-embroidered bracelets with intricate designs from Palestine which were originally used to make table cloths and home goods and in Rwanda, we applied the skill of basket-making to create lush, brightly colored sweet grass earrings.
Charity can cripple, we help people help themselves.

Consider your purchase a thank you from women of the world...one that builds leaders, jobs, homes, schools and ultimately stronger communities.
