SUPPORT: Hand and Cloth

I just ordered some beautiful stockings from Hand and Cloth. I saw their booth a couple of days ago at the Point Loma Nazarene Roots of Giving fair. I just wanted to highlight the great work this organization is doing to help women that are at risk for prostitution and trafficking.

Here is an excerpt from their website under our work, "Hand and Cloth is a social enterprising ministry in India and Bangladesh that provides a living wage, school scholarships, and a loving community to women at risk of prostitution and trafficking. Each woman is paid per-piece to stitch kantha dorokha, a traditional two-sided blanket made from recycled sari material. Hand and Cloth provides school fees and tutors for the women and also offers regular Bible studies. The women live together in a community outside of the red light district, where they sew together, share meals together, study together and pray together."

The beautiful work these women are creating makes lovely gifts for giving this Christmas season and throughout the year! What an awesome agency to support!!
