Chanda is a proud mother of two children. Her son is preparing for his secondary school exams, while her daughter is studying a Bachelor's in Psychology in the UK. None of this would be possible without Chanda’s own dedication — and the support of people who choose ethical, handmade products that empower women like her.

At just 14, Chanda began learning the art of Dhaka weaving. She later married Kumar, and together they moved to Kathmandu in search of better opportunities. With her skills and determination, Chanda found work in a weaving workshop — and over the years, she’s risen to become a supervisor, mentoring and supporting others.

Because people like you choose ethically made gifts, Chanda’s children have been able to access scholarships and opportunities that change lives. Your choice to support artisan work means mothers like Chanda can provide for their families with dignity and pride.

When you choose to buy ethically, you're not just buying a product — you're investing in a story. A story of resilience, strength, and transformation. Behind every handmade item is a woman who is breaking cycles of poverty, building her skills, and reclaiming her independence. Empowerment isn't just a word — it's woven into every thread and stitch, thanks to your conscious choice.

Many of the women in these weaving and crafting communities are mothers striving to create a better future for their children. By choosing a meaningful, handmade products you're standing with mothers like Chanda in Nepal.

Isn’t that a beautiful way to give?
