About Us

awareness and poverty

 Purchasing with awareness to help alleviate poverty!

We are a Christian faith-based organization that desires to help disadvantaged artisans living in developing nations find dignity and self-worth through work that pays fair wages.

Work of Your Hand International Development believes that “trade not aid” will help alleviate poverty, and purchases third world products for fair wages, then imports and sells these products to first-world nations. Proceeds are used to purchase more products from these artisans, provide funds for them to purchase equipment, or to help with education, health care, housing, etc.

Work of Your Hand believes if consumers purchase with awareness (understanding who made the product and their life situation), then poverty can be alleviated one purchase at a time.
