Imagine how great it is using those handmade tote bags while you were able to support the needs of those unfortunate families? You definitely had given your share on giving the new generation a bright future. Those people who made these handmade tote bags were able to find stable employment and thus providing their family's daily needs.
Listen to the story of each bag. When you procure our bags, you provide a sustainable income for women who desire meaningful work and fair wages and dignity through accomplishment. Many, though not all, are HIV/AIDS widows who live with their children in Kibera, one of the largest slums in Africa. Due to the AIDS pandemic on this continent, orphaned children are raising orphaned children. This is a catastrophe the Global Bag Project team would like to help prevent. In the slums, health care is inadequate; no waste management systems exist. Electricity is erratic. Clean water supplies are scarce and drinking water is often impure. Survival obviously is an every day struggle.
HIV/AIDS widows or not, all our bag-producers seek a better life for their families. Hard workers, often amazingly joyful, each woman takes pride in performing good work, and all are grateful to be able to provide basic necessities for their growing families. With just a little help, hidden entrepreneurial skills begin to rise to the surface. We encourage our bag-producers to find local markets for their products.
Remember these women and their families each time you carry your Global Bag Project African bags.
