eternal threads

many churches are participating in the fair trade movement of eternal threads. eternal threads is an organization that brings hope & justice to the women & children of poor & developing countries. they buy large quantities of products, handmade by the women of India, Madagascar, Nepal, Thailand, & Afghanistan, and sell them here in the states and across the world. through this organization, these women have the money they need to survive, educate themselves & their families, and potentially lower their risk of being trafficked
below, are some of the beautiful products, handmade by women around the world, striving to achieve sustainable lives for themselves and their families.
