About Made With a Purpose<br />
Made with a Purpose is a social enterprise that sells handmade bags to empower and uplift<br />
women out of the cycle of poverty. We hire underprivileged women who are interested<br />
in learning new skills and building a career for themselves. These women hand stitch the<br />
beautiful products out of vintage saris and other textiles, earn fair wages, and are treated<br />
with respect and dignity. We are dedicated to creating an environment where women feel<br />
safe and secure, regain self confidence, and have opportunities to learn and grow, so they<br />
are able to build a better, brighter future for themselves, their children, their families, and<br />
the community.
How We Give Back<br />
Made With a Purpose Provides Sustainable Income<br />
& Long-Term Career Opportunities<br />
Made With a Purpose Encourages<br />
Self-Development & Confidence Building<br />
-Women have a community of other like-minded women at<br />
their workplace and can find support when needed<br />
-Having a well-paying, consistent job with growth potential<br />
helps women see their potential and improves self confidence<br />
-Working for a Western company opens the women’s eyes to<br />
a broader world view and allows them to explore ideas they<br />
may otherwise never have known<br />
Made With a Purpose Repurposes Old Saris and<br />
Fabrics<br />
-Women that work for Made with a Purpose have the opportunity<br />
to earn more than double their previous salary, and<br />
more than most skilled workers in their field<br />
-Having a steady income and a stable job reduces financial<br />
stress so women can stop worrying about basic necessities<br />
like food, clothing and shelter<br />
-When women are earning money, they are seen as an asset<br />
to their family instead of a burden, and they have more say in<br />
family matters<br />
Made With a Purpose Provides Education for Girls<br />
-A portion of all proceeds goes towards sponsoring primary<br />
and secondary education for girls who can’t afford it<br />
-Made with a Purpose offers internship opportunities for<br />
high school graduates interested in fashion and design<br />
-Women are taught the importance of education so they can<br />
encourage and support their daughters in pursuing further<br />
studies<br />
-Some of your purchases are made from vintage saris and<br />
fabrics that may otherwise have been thrown away<br />
-Due to the limited quantity of each fabric, the products we<br />
bring to you are completely unique pieces that carry a story<br />
-Made With a Purpose donors feel a sense of fulfillment seeing<br />
their old items being repurposed for a good cause
