FUNDRAISERS
Specifically, we are a fair trade sewing collective based
out of Kathmandu, Nepal. The business focuses on
empowering and educating women with the intent to
change the social and cultural norms in Nepal. The
collective is comprised of women who are challenged by
physical disability, come from abusive homes, are
fleeing extreme poverty, or just looking to educate
themselves to move forward in their lives. Many have
escaped forced marriage and simply want to be
independent human beings.
The mission of Local Women’s Handicraft (LWH) is to
bring hope to human beings. It is a way for us to express
our individuality and share our creativity with the world. LWH strongly supports freedom, selfreliance, and liberation from limiting thoughts. We provide an environment to grow, nurture and
refine our natural skills and abilities, believing that we are all capable human beings no matter
our colour, sex or economic status. We teach independence and innovation, and believe that
allowing individuals to find their voice is a critical part of building self-esteem.
“With a tiny bit of hope and support LWH can continue to seek and live this vision."
