Knit Hope
Focusing on empowerment and future growth we launched our Knit Hope Initiative to focus on cultivating new skill development in rural artisan communities. We provided resources and training necessary for participants to generate, process, and share knowledge that in turn circulates within their community. This holistic support is designed to foster social and financial independence for participants.
Our Approach
We sought to develop a new kind of social entrepreneurial program that merged technological innovation with social settings. We would give artisan women new technologies (that they never had access to prior)- smartphones, cameras, equipment, new tools, etc- and also taught participants how to use new tools for communication, bookkeeping, inventory management, etc. Additionally, we promoted participants within the program to be the communal leaders and circulate the new knowledge and access to new technologies to the community.
The result was even more amazing as we found our participants were beginning to incorporate and utilize the technologies developing new skills and knowledge. Furthermore participants wanted to be more involved in our vision, learn, and share the experience with other artisans women.
Together we can make a Difference
Our goal is to share with the world beautiful handmade with love products that are not only a product, they represent hope and Peru's rich artisan traditions that have been passed from generation to generation. It's not just teaching artisan women beyond basic skills or giving them access to supplies, it's actually how they and we can use social entrepreneurship as a tool for changing the world and making a difference.
You have in your hands an exclusive and unique handmade piece as special as you are. That's why each detail and element behind the bikini are all hand knitted with love and with a spirit of hope. Knitting is a beautiful art that has been passed down from generation to generation and has become a big part of daily life that takes place in the convenience of home allowing to watch over their families
